Happy 4th of July!!
What a day I tell you!! WOW! Well, Tim had off work (YIPPPEEE) ! We went to Dan and Sarah Ruley's house for lunch. Then the four of us plus Daniel's brother, Dwight went to an Atlanta Braves game. It was very hot! Whew! When we left home it was 98 degrees....who knows what it got up to in Atlanta.
We got there early and hung out.
We also got to see the torch from the Olympics in '96.
We all got free hats!!! They are really nice hats too! We were so excited!
They did a lot of neat stuff for the 4th. President Bush gave a message to us and then they brought out the flag with military men holding it while they had a recording of "O Beautiful for Spacious Skies." The men started waving the flag...everyone was cheering. It was just awesome! It was so emotional. The highlight of the day for me!
We were enjoying ourselves, having a great time, then it began to rain....then it began to downpour....then it began to just STORM with thunder- lightning - everything! We had great seats for it though! ;) They stopped the game and many people were leaving- but we weren't leaving b/c we came for the fireworks!!! We didn't really care anyway- the rain wasn't bothering us. So we waited 3 hours!!!!!
They game finally resumed and we got to move up really close because so many people left. I think we were about 10 rows back behind Braves' dugout.
We were quite hyped about it, but then they announced that they are canceling the fireworks because of city noise laws for that late at night. Talk about a disappointment! The Braves lost- no fireworks- But we did get a free hat, made lots of memories and had a great time! We got home at 3:30 this morning!! Needless to say, my poor husband is super weak and tired today and wasn't looking forward to going to work, but I know that God has granted Him strength! Isn't it wonderful to look to Him and trust in Him for every need?!?! He's so worthy of praise- just because of Who He IS!! Hope you all enjoyed your Independence Day.

That looks awesome! I wish we could have been there, I love the Braves. Glad you had an awesome 4th!
yeah- it was really awesome to be there on the fourth!
Wow - How much fun! It sounds like you had a great 4th of July - I haven't been to a baseball game in years! I must say I'm a little jealous =). Glad to hear you had such a good time!!
Glad you had a good time!
wow! 98 degrees...That's crazy. We went to Linquist Lake and swam, regardless of the 60 degree weather. Glad you had a good time. I LOVE baseball games. (probably because they're not that hard to understand!)
