PLAY BALL!!!!!!!!

Atlanta Braves

A good friend gave us tickets to the Braves Game. Kendall and Waverly were in Tampa this week visiting their cousins so we took Grant to the game. Grant is a huge sports fan.... he can watch hours of fast pitch softball on ESPN. He loves anything sports. This sports thing started when he visited my mom over Christmas and she had to do her football picks for the Warrenton, GA news paper. No, my mom is not a gambler but she is somewhat of a local celebrity by winning the picks for the 2007/2008 football season. That was it.. Grant was hooked when he returned.

We got to the game early which was so much fun.....We are usually the ones squeezing in our seats during the bottom of the 2nd. We never knew you could actually park in walking distance and that there are activities before the game. We went up to the Coke bottle and the new Chick-Fil-A cow (very cute but why did they have to go to Italy to get it?). We went through the museum, watched the teams at batting practice and shopped a little all in plenty of time to get to our seats within 1 hour of game time.

The Braves lost 10 - 1 which was a bit of a disappointment but we had a blast. Chipper Jones is Grant's favorite. Our seats were on the 3rd base side right near Chipper. Baseball, Diet Coke, hot dogs, summer weather and a pysched little sports fan. Perfect!
