Back at the end of April, we headed to Atlanta to watch the Braves play the Cardinals. We got there early enough to watch batting practice. There had been a late game the night before, so the Cards didn't actually take batting practice, but we got to see the pitchers go through their workouts. Note for next time: take a Sharpie if you'd like to ask for autographs!
We met up with our college friend, Melody, who works for the Cardinals:
(Ignore the man with the cell phone. He was in every one of the shots with Melody.)
Here's the view from our seats--note that we were in the shade, which made for perfect baseball weather:
I'm not sure who this is batting, but I thought it was cool that you can see the ball on its way to the plate:
Final score:
Jeremiah lost interest soon after batting practice, but he survived and could still smile after the game:
On the drive home, Jeremiah napped while his brothers read:
Joseph underestimated the amount of reading material he would need and finished both of his books on the drive down. On the drive home, he read all of the books Joshua had brought and any spare books left in the van. He then began asking for more reading material, so I handed him the van's owner's manual. He promptly turned to the table of contents, chose a subject, and started reading it!
