Snow Man

So during the "Blizzard of 2010" B and I made quite the snowman out in the yard. The snow was absolutely perfectly packable...



This sprinkler came in quite handy...



And they snowmen decided to stick around much longer than anyone anticipated...



This effort was much better than the earlier snowman from the first "snow storm" of the season...



But it wasn't from a lack of trying...

Buy me some peanuts...

Monday I took Brayden to his first Braves game. Went to the stadium without tickets, and as it turns out, its good to procrastinate. Thanks to some Southern Hospitality (and probably a little Southern Comfort) we ended up scoring free tickets from a guy who was trying to sell them (and I had a pocket full of cash too). Were they great seats, no. Were they good seats, not really. Were they free, yep, so I change my answer to the previous 2 questions to YES. They were 3 rows from the top of the stadium behind home plate, but they were free so who's complaining.



We were in the stadium for Jason Heyward's first career HR, and brayden looks and me and goes "Thats loud". When we arrived at the stadium we went directly to the Tooner Field playground, where we spend the first 2 innings playing around.





After that we bought some drinks and crackerjacks I carried brayden the 900 steps to our seats. We managed to sit and watch about 2 innings, got to see Brian McCann hit a HR. Then B was done so back down we went (this time I was smart enough to search out an elevator (which was just as good as the game to B). Went and bought a souvenir Bat, and back to Tooner Field for a little more fun for the next 2 innings or so. Then we did a quick tour around the back half of the stadium and we were on our way. In total we were at the stadium for 6 innings, spent about $30 total (and zero on tickets), and had an absolutely great time.
