Braves Win!

Yes, I know. Baseball season is over. I have two big boys who are sad about that. But before the Atlanta Braves lost to the World Series Champion San Francisco Giants in the National League play-offs, we went down to Atlanta and watched one of their last games of the regular season. I've been wanting to post these pics for a while so we can have a record of our trip and I'm just getting around to it! So six weeks ago, we took off one Wednesday afternoon and drove down to Atlanta for a 4:00 baseball game! Here we are before the game!
Welcome to Turner Field ~ Home of the Atlanta Braves!
 This was the view from our seats!
 It isn't a baseball game without some nachos!!
 Sweet little Braves fan!
Although Will enjoyed the game, he and I spent a bunch of time away from our seats because he couldn't sit still and kept bumping into everyone seated around us. He had fun playing "keep away" from me behind this chain.
 Another one of the views that Will and I had. He explored many parts of Turner Field!
 He really did watch some of the game....as long as there were snacks to eat!
 Braves Win! They beat the Florida Marlins!
After the game, we went to "Big Pie in the Sky" for dinner! Sean and Beckett had learned about this restaurant on the Travel Channel show, "Man Vs. Food." Adam Richman, the star of the show, had visited this restaurant in Kennesaw, GA and he took their Carnivore Challenge. Since my birthday was the next day, and I LOVE pizza, it was the perfect place to eat dinner! Beckett and Helen had their own challenge with their slices of pizza! They were HUGE!
Helen was ready to dig in to her cheese slice!
 It was almost too big to handle! Neither Beckett or Helen were able to finish their challenge, but it made for good leftover lunch the next day!
 Will enjoyed his pizza and also discovered that he likes parmesan cheese! He would ask us to sprinkle some on his pizza and then he would lick it off!

 We got home that night at midnight, but it was a great day trip with many fun memories!
