Dreams Coming True

So apparently baseball seems to run in our genes here in the Consuegra household... hence the blog name. So when we got the opportunity to spend a day at Turner Field with the coaches and a few players, I can't tell you how happy we all were. Even my little buddy who was sick sick sick (we just didn't really understand HOW sick)... but hey, sick and puney at home or sick and puney at Turner Field?

Corey has befriended two of the Braves coaches and as they have taken advantage of the golf perks, we are taking advantage of the baseball perks! I mean, I GOT TO TAKE BATTING PRACTICE ON THE FIELD!!!!



We started off our day down in the clubhouse with Daddy meeting with Coach Bobby Cox and all of us just hanging out in the dugout. The Boys of Bridgestone got to hit first in the cage and then it was OUR turn... hehe...



After the hitting, we headed upstairs into the Braves suite (THANK YOU BRAD!!) for a snack and some drinks, then back down to the field to watch the Boys of Summer take batting practice and a little infield/outfield. Tucker was so thrilled and in awe, he couldn't even speak!





As I was drooling over the players, for obvious reasons (hahaha), Tucker was literally in AWE... especially when Chipper Jones walked past him... the kid knows the players by their faces and jersey numbers, so he knew EXACTLY who walked by. And no salmonella could keep his excitement away! But the excitement was too much, he literally went speechless and all he could do was smile and stare. Such a sweet moment for me to watch. Just reminds me how much he loves his Braves!




Too bad our super fun day ended with a trip to the Children's Hospital E.R. (where we finally found out about the salmonella incident - earlier post).
