Tomahawk Choppin'

This was evidently my lucky week (I need to go play the lottery), because along with winning tickets to Medieval Times, I also won tickets to not only see a Braves game, but to MEET THE PLAYERS!! I won the tickets on Q100, and then later discovered that I had won the grand prize of meeting the players during their batting practice. While I was so thrilled to win the tickets, I was mortified to hear myself on the radio....I sounded like Honey-Boo-Boo....I swear I'm a somewhat intelligent individual....I'll work on that. :)

Check out our "once in a lifetime" experience:

We got there around 4:00, and had time to check out the neat-o scenery of Turner Field.

 Then we hung out at the "755 Club" after getting our tickets:

Then, it was off to the field to meet the players and watch batting practice. Here's Jason Heyward:

Coach Fredi Gonzalez:

Brian McCann (my fav) ~ he gave Nora a little wink:

A ball I "caught" from McCann (aka ~ it rolled to my feet). :)

Josh & Ella (with the best smile EVER), with McCann behind them.

Dan Uggla....who has very nice....eh....form. ;) (He's not too "uggla.") ;)

I was mostly in awe of Pendleton.....he was THE man when I was growing up. :)

....and he was great ~ he gave us several balls:

Love this one ~ Heyward & Bourne

Michael Bourne was one of the SWEETEST and most social players. He spoke to all of the girls, even Claira. :)

 Martin Prado was also extremely nice:

And here's Tim Hudson chatting with us and signing our baseballs:

After the somewhat surreal experience, we went up to our seats, ate our "smuggled in" McDonald's, and enjoyed cooling off for a bit:

CHEERS!!

Loving the blimps and airplane advertisements:

 And Claira just loved EVERYTHING....she's an "outside" kind of gal:

And wherever we go, the diapers never cease to be changed (and Nora and Ella being goofballs in the background):

Nora and Ella loved the game and would cheer and tomahawk chop, and of course, DANCE. But their favorite was the "big ball."

 It was a very swell time. We didn't stay for the whole game since it was uber-hot and we'd been there since 4:00, but the Braves won 1-0.

Awesome. Plain and simple. Go Bravos!!!
