For The Love of The Game

A few years ago we were able to go down to Phoenix and watch the braves vs. diamondbacks and ever since then Nate has wanted to go back! Last year we were busy with me finishing school, Nate starting his BLM summer job and we just couldn't fit it in. Now if you know Nate you understand how much he LOVES baseball, and even more the Atlanta Braves. Ever since he was young he has been a huge Braves fan. So all year he has been begging to go see them play anywhere! He tried to talk me into going to Denver a day before they played. Travel all day watch the game and drive all night to get home and take a final, no way I said! Few weeks later he saw they played in Arizona and his summer job was starting a week later! I couldn't say no to him!! He was so excited. Plus we needed to do it before we had the baby! So we booked rooms that night and bought tickets! He was like a little boy on Christmas! 

It worked out well because Nate's parents wanted to go down for a break and watch so we were able to split gas and enjoy some much needed time with them. We went to batting practice and Nate was so excited! We went out in left field and Nate had taken a mitt and his only goal was to actually catch a home run ball. Balls were flying every where! At one point we thought he had one and some crazy lady caught it. But not too long after that he caught one!!! He caught it and threw that arm with the ball in the air with the biggest smile!!

Made the whole trip worth seeing him that happy! The braves lost both games, but it was a great trip and went by too quick! I hope this little boy if ours loves baseball like his dad!! We also had some guy tell me to go to this certain place at the stadium and they give a plaque thing for the baby. He was all excited to tell us about it. We went and well it was no plaque, a card stock paper you write his name on! But hey it still goes in his baseball room! 

Plus Chase stadium has a roof that opens and closes!! The night game they opened it and it was perfect and during the day game they had it closed (thank goodness) with the AC going!! Yahoo being 32 weeks pregnant in Phoenix with all that heat is no fun, so that roof was amazing!! Love that field!
