Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Danielle had the day off from photography so we decided to have a family day. After church and naps, we loaded the boys up and headed outside The Perimeter to watch the Gwinnett Braves play an afternoon game. It was our first time to the new Gwinett Stadium and I must say I was impressed. Very nice little minor league park and extremely family friendly. It was much more low-key and accessible than dragging the whole family down to The Ted. We purchased general admission tickets which were incredibly cheap, and sat out on the lawn overlooking the outfield. I was initially surprised at how interested in the game Ridge was. When we walked in the front gate he immediately began talking about the pitchers and the hitters and how fast they threw the ball. But unfortunately from our outfield seats he couldn't make out much of the action and quickly became distracted by cotton candy, pretzels and the kiddy playground. So we spent much of the game playing in a giant jumpy castle while Danielle baked in the sun trying to keep Colton hydrated and from eating grass.

All in all it was a good experience but a lot of hot, sweaty work. I couldn't tell you a single thing that happened in the game. I think next time we attend we'll buy actual seats in the shade closer to home plate so I can teach Ridge about "hit and runs" and "double plays."
