Braves Country

We were able to go to a Braves game on Wednesday and watch them beat the Florida Marlins!  It was Weather Education Day, so we started out near the third base dugout and watched a weather presentation by the Channel 2 Meteorologists on tornadoes, hurricanes, lightning and more.

 
After the presentation, we paraded around the warning track.  We got to see lots of the players up close and watch them get the infield ready for the game.

 Winston even got to walk on the track by himself. 

Then we went to our General Admission seats.  They were really high up, but they were shaded!  And since it was almost 90 degrees F., we were happy for the shade.

Winston took his nap - despite the noise and hubbub. 

When he woke up, he was a sweaty, silly-haired mess.

Our tickets came with hot dogs, water and chips.  After the game, we took some pictures near the statues outside the field.

It was a fun day for all!

Apple Pie

We had friends over last weekend and Sarah was "chef" for the night.  She wanted to make an apple pie and churned out TWO of these creations!  YUM!!

Lego Land

William was finally given his reward for memorizing ALL 150 Children's Catechism Questions - a trip to Lego Land with Spencer.  They flew to LA a few weeks ago - on a Monday, spent all day Tues at the park and came home on a red-eye Tues night.  They had a great time!

There were huge Lego creations like this all over the park.

William got THREE driver's licenses from this ride.  He really liked it!

But his favorite thing was competing in this game.  There were four groups that tried to be the first to "get out the fire."  He and Spence honed their technique until there was no one who could beat them. 

 He thought the irony of this creation was pretty funny!
