On Rod's day off this past week, we headed out to an afternoon Spring Training game at Disney where the Braves play in the Grapefruit league. It was a windy, warm day and the sun was shining bright. Lots of families out for this game against the Detroit Tigers. I would say the crowd was evenly split between Braves and Tigers fans.
For anyone who has not been out to this park, it is so family friendly. We love sitting out in the outfield lawn seats. Just spring for a $10 ticket ($13 game day) bring a blanket (no chairs allowed) and prepare to be transported back to the old days. That would be when you were a kid and your Dad took you out to the park to try to snag a ball.
On this day we wouldn't get lucky in the ball department. I made Rod promise to give a little kid the ball if he were lucky enough to field one. He promised, but reluctantly. :) We brought in a bag of peanuts (they don't allow coolers) and were lucky to snag a couple $3 beers in the sixth inning.
The Braves won it in the ninth inning...I can't remember the score. We had a great time. As did the father and son playing catch below. Grandpa joined in a couple times too. Nice times. Lazy days. And I didn't forget the sunscreen this time!
