TURNER FIELD & SIX FLAGS!!!

This past weekend we went to Atlanta! We took Lauren Colby and her boyfriend, Austin, for her graduation. I LOVE amusement parks so this was a great reason for me to plan a weekend trip and get Lee over his phobia of roller coasters. I knew that if his little sister was there and she was jumping on everything he couldn't be a chicken! We succeeded (YAY!) and he is already talking about how he wants to go back. Both Lee and Austin on the first few roller coasters were talking about how unsafe they felt, but before long, they weren't hesitating at all! Thanks guys, we had a blast!!! We got to Atlanta Friday afternoon and headed out to Turner Field for a great game between the Braves and the Red Sox! It was awesome!!! Both of the boys were totally in their element and loving every minute of the game. We must give a shout-out to Pap, Suzy, Katie, Justin, Sloan & Molly for keeping Addison and Maggie so that we could enjoy a kids-free weekend. I missed those little girlies so much, but knew they were much better off in Starkville than standing out in the heat all day. They had a blast as well and I am not even sure that they missed us!!! Thanks soooo much; we had an awesome time! Congrats LC - we love you!

David Ortiz "Big Poppy" - of course, he slammed one during my bathroom break!

These were taken from our seats (we were in the shade - thank goodness!)

Papelbon finally made an appearance in the 9th! Way to represent MSU!

It was Friday night fireworks and we enjoyed a great show after the game!

Me, LC, and Austin in front of Batman (we rode in the front row!) and the Mindbender (the Joker)

The Georgia Cyclone - the roughest roller coaster in Six Flags!

About to go 200 feet up on Acrophobia - only to free fall straight to the ground at 65 mph! Thanks LC for riding - Lee decided he would stay down and take our picture!
