Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Yesterday we went to see to see the Braves play. Maddie was on the Honor Roll all year and she was awarded two free tickets to a Braves game. The other tickets we had to purchase were pretty cheap, so we made a day of it. We had lunch after church and headed off. The first stop was Bass Pro Shops, well because Dad was driving and we hardly ever drive past a Bass Pro without stopping.

She may be a sparkly nails, lip gloss wearing girly girl, but she's got a tough side too. She was really liking this pink and purple camo 22. Did I ever mention she's a Daddy's girl??

We had an in car picnic of Subway sandwiches before we went into the game. Lesson learned last year, never plan to eat at the ballpark, we spent more on food than tickets last year.

Pics before the game~

I love this pic, I may print it on canvas for Blake's room

The Braves won against the Rockies. This was the first game we ever attended where the Braves won!! Gattis hit two home runs in consecutive at bats. It was hotter than hot but fun too. We are already looking ahead to next year's honor roll tickets and this time I took notes on what section to choose so we can sit in shade.  

And last but not least, Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to those who have served or are serving in our military. I know Memorial Day is primarily a day to honor military service but, being a LEO family, I can't help but feel that those who serve on a daily basis behind their badge also deserve a thank you. We passed a very long line of officers in GA yesterday as they were making their way to the funeral for a fallen officer. All those blue lights flashing in a line brought a tear to my eye and a lump in my throat. The brotherhood that is present in law enforcement is awesome, I am proud we are a part of it.

We are headed to spend our Memorial Day together at the lake. Enjoy the day!
