At 8:00 yesterday morning, I decided to surprise Molly Kate and take her to her first Braves game! She was so excited when I told her and we got ready fast and headed to Atlanta for the 11:00 first pitch. Even though we had to stop a few times to adjust the movie she was watching and go to the potty, we still got there just in time. She wore her glove all the way!
We parked and headed in. Then, we rounded the corner and saw the ticket line...ugh! It was SO LONG - don't people work for a living?!? Anyway, she was being so patient (better than me) and out of no where this guy comes up to us, out of all those people in line, and gives us two tickets to the game! Now if that isn't the Lord (and a sign of how cute MK was in her Braves gear!), I don't know what it was! We had great seats in the outfield and got to move up to behind the Marlins dugout for the last few innings. MK didn't really like the $6 pizza or the $5 water, but the $5 cotton candy hit the spot! Chipper and Brian McCann had the day off, unfortunately, but we did get to see Jeff Francoeur hit two RBIs. It was not enough and the Braves lost to the Marlins again, but we had a GREAT Mommy/MK day - one not soon forgotten! I hope there will be many more Braves games in our future. She got a McCann jersey, new pink hat and a foam tomahawk - all necessities to remember the day!
