Worth the Wait

After a slow start, Nathan, Paw-Paw and I finally arrived at Turner Field just in time to wait two more hours due to a rain delay for the Braves game. That was after sitting in traffic for two hours on the way there. I don't know how Nathan does it, but he manages to have a good time in any situation. We discussed lots of things during those two hours in the car, but my particular favorite topic discussed with Nathan was homeless people living under bridges.

The game didn't start until almost 10 p.m., but that didn't matter to Nathan. He said he wanted to leave as soon as it started raining, but we went to the concessions area and he ate a Chick-fil-a sandwich and ice cream and sipped his giant Coke and things started looking up. We had really good seats, which made it more fun for Nathan. Paw-Paw made the joke that maybe Nathan could go out there and help the Braves out because Nathan is pretty good at playing catch. Nathan thought that sounded like a pretty good idea and asked me when it was going to be his turn to go out there and play.On the way out, after only 4 innings, Nathan stopped for one last photo op. He wasn't really ready to leave at 11:30 p.m., we made him. As we were walking back to the car Nathan said, "We can come back tomorrow." That's when you know he had fun. He talked to Steve on the phone on the way home and told him every detail from the night. He talked about doing the wave and how those people just dropped their peanut shells on the ground and made a big mess and everything in between. He informed Lady this morning that she needed to get us some more tickets. This was Lily's reaction when she heard the Braves lost.
Actually, that was her reaction when she realized that little boy was still living at her house. She hates being in Nathan's presence.This is for the Kathryn fans out there.

  2. I'd be interested to hear Nathan's views on homeless people living under the interstate.
