Take me out to the ball game!!!

We went to one of the last Braves games of the season.  It was also one of the last games to be played at Turner Field.  It was kind of sad.... 


Marc was supposed to have taken the kids, but he had had a really rough week at work. The tickets and parking had already been printed out and ready to go..... so off we went!
 

Right as we got into Atlanta it started raining.  We had no idea it was supposed to rain and other than one umbrella we were pretty unprepared!


Thankfully the rain eased up and we headed into the park!


Matthew has been a Braves fan since he was big enough to throw a ball.  I took lots of pictures of him throughout the stadium.


The weather was looking  a little "iffy".


 
We had already eaten supper so we headed on to find our seats.  The crowds were plenty, but not terrible.  We had great seats!
 





I can't remember what inning, but we were behind and it started to downpour!  I wanted to had home, but Matthew wanted to wait it out!  So....... waiting we did!

I didn't think it was ever going to stop, but it finally did and the game resumed!  The crowds were gone!!!

 
Mariah hadn't been to a Braves game in years and she had a blast!
 

The year Matthew was born!

The sky looked so pretty after the rain moved out!
 

Surprisingly, they came back and WON!



 We finally pulled into our driveway around 2:00 AM!  I was tired the next day, but memories made with my kiddos is always worth it!

Civil War Days...

Life is happening a lot faster than I can possibly post on this little blog, but I have some things I want saved on here!  About a month or so ago, our family went to a Civil War reenactment.  We all love American History, and the guys love studying the "war between the states"!


This picture of Macheus is one of my favorites from the day.  He was so worn out! :)  He had also stepped into the creek and one of his shoes was covered in mud! :)


We let the boys pick out one thing.  Malachi and Mac picked out Confederate flats, and Myles picked out an American flag.



Playing by the creek.

This old mill was actually being used to grind corn while we were there.






My sweet fellow. :)

                                                          
                                                            My girls!  Love them!





They were nonstop all day!

It seems that Matthew is always in class or at work.  It is fun when we can all go somewhere together!


Macheus got bored during the battle, so I took him to walk around.


 








Matthew thought these stickers were funny..... so he bought them. He put then on his tool box instead of his pickup.  Smart decision. :)







He is never scared of these characters!
