Day 2 in Atlanta-Trent & Ella's 1st MLB game

Tonight Trent and Ella went to their very first Major League Baseball game!! Of course, it was the Atlanta Braves...oh yeah, they played the Pirates for those of you who were wondering. Here is our family picture before going into the stadium. Trent wore his Andruw Jones jersey to the game...and Andruw made the first HOME RUN of the game in the first inning. Trent will tell you that he made that Home Run because he (Trent) was wearing the #25 jersey. When I asked Trent about his favorite part of the game he told me it was "Andruw's home run!"

Learning how to "Tomahawk Chop": priceless


Unfortunately, around the 6th inning it began to sprinkle rain. By the middle of the 7th it was pouring. We took part in the 7th inning stretch (and got soaked, by the way) before they called a rain delay and pulled out the tarps. This had the be Trent's second favorite thing of the night. Trent and Mom stood in the (pouring) rain in order to see the crew do their thing.

At 9:45, we decided that it was late and the game wouldn't start up again until after 10:00, so we left. By the time we made it back home we were able to watch the end on t.v. And how did the game turn out???? Well, even though the Braves gave up their 4-0 lead in the 7th, Jeff Francoure pulled off a base hit in the 9th to end the game at 5-4.

Abby arrived this morning, Carol and Don arrived this afternoon, and Aunt Hazel will be flying in tomorrow around noon. Person is planning a picnic for everybody tomorrow for dinner. Daddy will be flying home on Monday morning and coming back in 2 weeks. Keep checking back for updates. There won't be as many during the week because the weekdays will not be as "eventful" as the last 2 days, but I will let everyone know how things are going.
