Take Me Out To The Ballgame! {Braves @Turner Field}

So, last Sunday we dropped Ethan and Elly off at my parents' house and then we went to Matt's dad's house to go to the Braves game with them.


Ethan and Elly were very excited to go to Nana and Papaw's house that night:)


They went to their friend's pool:)

Then, Matt and I rode to Turner Field with Matt's dad, stepmom, and family friend and met a couple of his uncles and family friends there.

This was actually the first time Matt and I went to a Braves game together:)


We sat pretty close on Sunday. It did fill up a lot more, but we were there early.


Matt and me:) Matt's dad was so sweet and bought me this Braves hat;)


Then around the third inning....this is what I had to stare at for the rest of the game! I mean good grief! Why would anyone want that much hair weighing down on their head?!? haha

We had such a good time! The Braves won that game;) Then Matt's dad invited us to go to the game with them the next day (Monday Memorial Day). He is a major Boston Red Sox fan and had bought really good seats for it and said he had 4 extra and wanted us to go along with Ethan and Elly. So, of course we didn't turn that down. 

He also bought Ethan and Elly some Braves hats as well.....


Walking to our seats

So, when we got to our seats finally (we didn't make it to the game until the 3rd inning because traffic was so bad!!) We realized we were a lot higher then they had thought. Everything worked out though and we all had a great time!:)


I think Ethan was tired lol! And that lady next to Matt totally photobombed the picture!! I saw her lean forward like that when I took it, but didn't think anything of it until I was looking back at the pictures...she totally meant to do that haha!! 


Now he's happy! His uncle bought him a tomahawk! 


Elly was having so much fun!:)


I thought it was funny she help her finger up like that b/c I didn't even tell her to;) She must have seen the foam fingers;)


It was so crowded on Memorial Day. Not only because the holiday, but because the defending champions were there....and they won! 


Then, it started pouring down rain for about 45 min. and this is what we stared at the entire time. We were actually sitting under an awning, so we were able to stay in our seats, but everyone else moved up under the awning, or they moved inside. The stadium looked so empty while it was raining. 


You can't tell, but it was pouring down rain. We still managed to have some fun;)


My hubby and me:)


Me and Elly Bell!

After the game....that lasted a lot longer than expected....we all went out to eat together. Although half of them left to go back home to Orlando.

Ethan wanted cotton candy at the game, but we didn't get it, so luckily they had some at the restaurant haha!!

We had such a fun weekend spent with Matt's family and also my parents'! Ethan and Elly keep talking about how much fun they had at the game!:) Can't wait to go back!!

So thankful for all of the members of our military!! It was nice to be at the game on Memorial Day and to see all of the patriotism and honor for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom! 

Have a great weekend!!
