Take me out to the ballgame

Lance's dad recently bought some baseball tickets and thought this would be a good time to take Harrison to his first baseball game.  We have been telling him about it for a few weeks and every time we pass the stadium on the way to the zoo, I point out the big baseball stadium, so he has been very excited.  Unfortunately the night before the game, Harrison came down with a fever.  He seemed to be feeling better in the morning so I thought that getting out of the house and getting some fresh air might distract him and make him feel better.  I was definitely wrong about the feeling better part, but he did have a fun day!  When we got there, we met granddaddy and headed over to the cartoon network area.  I had never been over there, but they have a mini baseball field, a big tunnel slide and some other fun games for the kids.  Harrison picked up a bat and one of the workers pitched a few balls to him.  I was shocked when he "knocked it out of the park".  Of course I missed the shot of him actually hitting the ball, but here is one of his attempts.
On our way to our seats, we passed a few of these huge baseballs.  Harrison was intrigued...
"uugghhh - Its too heavy!"
We had amazing seats but they were in the sun so Harrison didn't really want to sit for too long.  We spent most of the day walking around the stadium, but thankfully there are a lot of fun things for the kids to do there.  He saw a little girl with her face painted so we tried to find the face painter, but no luck.  I couldn't pass up this shot...
Watching the game by the big Coke bottle
They have a little a little area where kids can run to a base and Harrison had so much fun running like the baseball players.  Go go go!!!
We did this over and over and over and over...
We made Harrison sit for a photo op before we headed out.  I wish I would have angled the camera so you could see the field.  We had such great seats, probably the closest I've ever sat, too bad I didn't get to actually sit and watch the game. :)
By this point, I think Harrison's fever had started to come back so we had to leave, but overall, I think he had a fun time.  Looking back, I probably should have kept him home to let him rest but he was a trooper!  Go Braves!  Whats sad is that I don't even know if they won or not!

Here are just a few other cute moments from the last few weeks.
Harrison's school had spirit week last week and the kids got to do something fun each day.  Thursday was crazy hair day, so I gave Harrison a mohawk.  I should have taken a picture in the morning, but we were a little rushed, so here he is at the end of the day...
Harrison got this bubble wand for Easter and I made homemade bubbles for him...they are the best ever!
These bubbles are huge!
Poor Davis hasn't made it to this blog post.  He got to stay at grandma's during the baseball game and I swear he was on a picnic blanket behind me in these pictures!  Here is a cute video of him to end the post.  Harrison has been eating a lot of popsicles lately so I have been letting him give Davis a lick or two.  Its pretty funny because Davis makes a sour face everytime you let him have some but then he gets mad when you take it away!
I feel like Davis has been learning so much just in the past week.  He was waving to me and pointing to his nose.  He also started playing the game where you say "How big is Davis??" and he puts his hands in the air.  He gets the biggest smile on his face and is so proud of himself.  Hopefully I can get all this on camera soon!

I think Harrison looks just like Lance in the picture with the mohawk. I bet he loved crazy hair day...I know Reese did.
