No Sister Allowed!

Last Labor Day weekend, we ditched Sister to have a little one-on-one trip with Lawton. He was in heaven . . . actually she was too, because she received lots of one-on-one attention from Noni and Dandy!

Here we are at the Georgia Welcome Center where Lawton excitedly found where we were on the map and how much further we had to go before reaching our destination of Atlanta. (Remember - he loves maps . . . and yes, he is on top of the map!)
We enjoyed a meal at Dave and Buster's (without the gaming - it was a little overwhelming and crazy . . . and late!) with the rest of the crew. I love this picture with the all the boys cozied up with their daddies. Houston and Brent, Ryan and Pat and Lawton and Chad.

And the reason we went to Atlanta? A Faith Day at Turner Field! It helped a little that Brent, my brother-in-law, was in charge of the entire thing and was able to get us some great tickets! Thanks, Brent! Here's skinny-mini Emily and her "brood" heading into the stadium. ha!

All the kiddos before the game - Lawton, Reid, Ryan, John Patrick, Hunter, Audrey Jane, Maggie, Cameron and Houston.

Before the game, all the kids were able to walk around the warning track of the field. How cool is this?!?

The sad thing is, Lawton has no concept of how big the Braves are and being on a major league field. . .

Father Pat and the kids . . . with a flight risk on the end - ha!

Larry and Bob even made it down to ATL! :)

Go Braves! Sadly, they lost to the Reds 4-2 after a LOOONNGGG 12 innings! (We got there at least an hour before the game and then waited after the game was over to hear Matthew West in concert. It was a long day . . .)

And isn't this crazy? Brent was on the jumbo-tron (and standing on the Braves dug-out) introducing a few speakers and Matthew West.

We rushed home after all the festivities only to get up super early the next morning to cheer Daddy on in a 10K! We were glad to get back to Carolina, though, that afternoon. We all missed her a lot! :)
