Kate's First Braves Game

Earlier this month, when her cousins were visiting from California, Kate attended her first Braves game. What fun we had watching the Braves play the Astros ... for a little while, at least. LOL! It was a neat experience, but perhaps not the most ideal setting for a toddler who wants to go, go, go. (You can imagine.) Kate did OK for a time. She loved climbing up and down the stadium steps and clapping every time the crowd cheered. (She LOVES to clap these days!) She also had fun at the Turner Field children's area, although it seems designed more for older kids.

After a while, even cousins Kylie and Eric were ready for a change of scenery, so Darlene and I took the kids to the zoo while the rest of the family stayed for the remaining innings. It worked out really well, too! We had just renewed our season pass to Zoo Atlanta--and, as you may know, it's just a hop, skip and a jump from the stadium.

When the game was over, we all met at a favorite Chinese restaurant for dinner--during which was a torrential downpour. We came home, put Kate to bed, and both Tanna and I passed out in the living room. LOL! We had been going nonstop since getting ready for church that morning. What a very full and very fun day!

Go Braves!

Doesn't Kate look so cute in her Braves cheerleader outfit? It was a hand-me-down from Abigail and worked perfectly for game day! (THANK YOU!) It even matched a shirt and pair of shoes Kate already had.


Rooting for the home team! (Too bad they lost. Maybe next time!)
