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!
