Wow...my 100th post! It has taken me a little over year to get to my 100th (I began the blog on June 10, 2007).
We've been taking it easy in Atlanta this week spending most of our time at the pool.
On Sunday, we went to church with Pops, Purson, and Abby. Then we came home, ate leftovers, and went to the pool so Purson could have a quiet house. She had to complete a pretty big homework assignment and having everyone around making noise doesn't make it very easy to concentrate.
Monday morning the kids and I packed a picnic and took off for the pool. We spent about 3 hours there. Ella is getting brave about being in the water. We have progressed from just sitting on the side of the pool to getting on the float and riding around. Trent is still a fish...he stays in the pool from the time we arrive until the time we leave. Monday's trip to the pool was exciting for Trent because the guy with the kayak came back and brought his 11-year old son. Trent is learning how to throw pennies in the pool and then go look for them on the bottom. He was quite impressed with the other boy because he could dive to get the pennies in the 8 foot end.
Yesterday was Tuesday and we had originally decided to go to the Fernbank Museum. However, plans changed when we decided to go to the Braves game last night. A day at the Fernbank and a baseball game would've been a little much so we will go to the Fernbank another day. So here's a little rundown of the game...
We arrived a little later than usual - the game was already at the bottom of the 1st and the Braves were already behind 2-0. But we got some great seats in the shade on the third base side, field level. Here's a picture to show you how close we were:
Trent was happy with the seats because he had a great view of third base and his favorite player...Chipper Jones. However, I forgot to tell him before we got to the field that Chipper had been on the DL and more than likely would not be playing tonight, so he was a little bummed when he didn't see his favorite player covering 3rd. Since we were late we weren't able to eat dinner beforehand so we all got pizza at the field.
I had a teachable moment with Trent when Yunel Escobar was called out, threw his helmet, and was then ejected from the game. The Braves trailed the entire game but started a rally in the ninth and were only down 4-3. Things got really exciting but they still couldn't pull out the win.
Oh, yeah...as for Chipper...well watch the video...
Although he only came in to hit once Trent did get to see him. And Chipper did get a base hit (that's why we are chopping).
Ella is slowly figuring out the Tomahawk Chop. It looks better than last year!
And I took this video just for John. This is the Chick-fil-A cow that does the "chop" I was telling you about.
Until next time!
