Braves vs. Pirates after some rain...
We arrived at the stadium early to watch batting practice. And guess what, the Jones' were on time. :-) However, the weather was not cooperating. It really is incredible to see how the ground crew works together so quickly to cover the field. Below is the video during the rain. You can see the air blowers working to keep the rain off the middle of the field. A perfect time for dinner: Subway subs, trail mix, and beer!
The rain started to slow down and the seats were fairly empty so we actually moved from our awesome outfield seats to really good covered, dry seats. While the rain continued, Emily, Doug, Daniel, and Trippe went to have some fun in the rain while Evelyn and I sat, talked, and watched the rain.

McCutchen is on Doug's fantasy team. He was torn between
McCutchen earning fantasy points and the Braves winning. We left as the rain started again late in the game. Braves win, but no Friday Night fireworks.
We headed down to the lake after the game. The next day, Doug and I took Dellaina and Wyatt out on the boat to fill up all the gas tanks and for a boat ride. Before we headed back for dinner we stopped by Goat Island and did some swimming.
What an incredible weekend: Braves Baseball, the Lake, and family!
