A Game with EVERYTHING

I had convinced the kids that we would not be going to a baseball game this summer.  However, when one of our youth ministers came up to me on Sunday night and said he had 4 extra tickets for the Atlanta trip (and I could give him a package deal) - the kids and I jumped on that!!!!  So, we loaded up the bus with the youth group and took off on a great trip!  My friend, Kim, gladly went with us to help me with the kids since Damon had to work - what a sacrifice on her part! Thank you, Kim!

LB wound up with a home run ball during some batting practice.
Carter was jea.lous!

But just happy to be at the game!!!!

We made tv with the sign!!! The kids were so excited when they found out!

I realize that my pictures of Carter are very limited. I did not get many good pics at the game - don't know why.  It just wasn't my day!  The game was awesome as we beat the Mets!!!!  LB got a home run ball in batting practice.  Chipper Jones (my favorite) had a home run!!  We were down 2 in the bottom of the 9th, so Carter finally remembered his rally cap.  No lie, as soon as he put it on - Brooks Conrad hit a 2 run home run to tie the game.  What does that mean?  FREE BASEBALL!!!!!  We held the Mets in the top of the 10th to no runs.  Bottom of the 10th comes up and with 2 men on base, 2 outs, Jason Heyward is up to bat and the Mets' pitcher BALKS IN THE WINNING RUN!!!!!!!!  I have never seen that happen in my life!!! Carter was going crazy and then had to explain to some of the adults what a balk is!!

Braves Win! Braves Win!

Doesn't get much better than that!!!!!
