Today started out a soggy mess with heavy, heavy rains but cleared in time for our Friday night Braves game plans. The temp was cool by Atlanta standards, a balmy 87, with a slight breeze. Our usual seats, first row in 405, right over home plate with plenty of space for the boys to walk around when getting a little stir crazy. Note to self, check ingredients on juice they are giving away outside the stadium. Even though the label was Minute Maid, it was "enhanced" fruit juice...enhanced with caffeine (granted it is "natural" caffeine from some fruit), but caffeine is caffeine and my kids don't have it...until tonight. They were in rare form and cracking us up...including Mathis who couldn't even wait for the organ music to stop before yelling "charge" and doing the chop with his whole little body. The high was hilarious, but the crash was tough!! Especially since the game was tied and went into extra innings...and then we had a 20 minute wait for the fireworks show which finally started around 11:15 or so! It was sooo worth the wait! The show at Turner field is always good, but it was incredible tonight and everyone loved it!
So on our way out we were waiting for the elevator and who should walk up...but Santa!! He was visiting his summer home in Lilburn and was even wearing a red and white Hawaiian shirt. The boys were absolutely taken with him and he was so kind and engaging...even gave them cards with his photo that said "shhhh, I met the real Santa!" too funny!
Here are some photos of the kids during...and after! Hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July!

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!
P.S. You think you are going to get sympathy about lack of sleep from ME?
