Well...two days awhile.
We bought R.C., Bobo, and Princess Braves t-shirts. Bear and Popeye were disappointed, but they already had baseball t-shirts in the right colors so we made do. And I, of course, wore whatever I wanted. (Don't worry, it was navy. I still represented.)
We got to the game plenty early. The stadium is beautiful and the atmosphere was exciting. R.C. has been a Braves fan for a very long time. He has been to a handful of Braves games, but never one at Turner Field. This was a big day.
And let me give you a little more perspective on our love for the Braves. We took this picture of Dale Murphy's number because our precious little nephew is named after him. And not just that, but his first name is also after another old Braves player. David Justus and Dale Murphy: meet Justus Dale. =)I'm completely serious, people. Ask his mother.
The weather was gorgeous and we had great seats. This was the last home series of the season and because the manager, Bobby Cox, was retiring they were running a special. We couldn't pass it up.
Our seats were so good that they actually had "waiters" for our section. They handed us menus and then would take our orders. The food was delivered to us at our seats. The waiters were available till the 8th inning. It was awesome!
Here is Bobby receiving some special gift. It will be different next year not seeing him in the dugout.
Have I told you how awesome my camera is? =)(check out the ball in the upper right corner)
Here's another just to make sure you understand.
The stadium wasn't too full, but it was a weekday, afternoon game. That's to be expected. And we actually enjoyed it not being crazy packed.
The kids really enjoyed the game. I took this picture to get the WELCOME TO TURNER FIELD. HOME OF THE ATLANTA BRAVES.
See, people. I wore navy.
I have been to three Atlanta Braves baseball games before this one. One in Dallas and two in Houston. It really is different when it is a home game.
Once again, a shout out to my camera.
Popeye looks precious in this picture, but you have to notice Bear, too. Hehe.
This is the closer, Wagner. They make such a big deal over the closers when they come out of the bull pen. It really is something. I thought it was cool that I could get a picture of him in motion and his name on fire. Oh, and I have no idea what his first name is and I only remembered his last name bc it is in the picture. A girl can only go so far in supporting her husband"s team. Especially now that they aren't on TBS everyday. 
According to this part of the fence the Brave's organization is "the longest continuously operating franchise in Major League Baseball". That's pretty cool.
And we capped the day off with a win!
I know that most of you who read my blog get on here to see the kiddos. So, here you go.
We got into Atlanta the night before. We slept late that morning, had lunch at Chic-fil-a, (thank goodness for restaurants with playgrounds) and then spent the rest of the day at Turner Field.

Bridget it looks like it was a wonderful trip! My how Caleb has grown!!! They all look great as usual.
I'm not jealous. I'm not jealous. One day, though, Justus will have his picture taken next to Dale Murphy... and perhaps have his own banner one day. Hey! A mom can dream. :)
Billy. His name is Billy.
Btw, the 8th pic down (second batter pic) was actually a home run swing. Very cool, my wife is with her camera.
