Brian had mentioned before that it would be fun to go out to the Braves Spring Training facility at Disney while we were there to catch a game. It was mentioned again on the trip down so I looked up the schedule and they just happened to be hosting the Cardinals while we were there! So we got seats overlooking 3rd base (and David Freese) and enjoyed the day with Nana and PaPa!
I believe this is probably the nicest stadium I've ever been to. Love Busch Stadium too, but the whole setting at this one was so unique and pretty. Thankfully it also had plenty of seating inside in the shade for when I thought I was going to melt during the game, which is definitely a bonus at a baseball stadium!
Of course, Mickey was definitely present!
Nana bought the boys new sunglasses while we were there so that they could actually open their eyes and see the game. They were pretty excited about them!
And, we had to have a hot dog, of course.
We thought we would be able to try to get some autographs and talk to the players, but we were wrong. It seems that experience is a whole extra ticket and expense. I felt pretty bad cause we had talked that up with the boys and they were excited about that. But it is what it is, and we did get to see a lot of players a lot closer than we would at home. It was just fun to be there.
If you look in the reflection on Elliott's glasses, you can actually see the rest of us. So this is the one photo of all of us :)
Brian's mom was regretting pushing her sleeves up later. That sun was really hot and all of us left at least a little redder!
