Georgia Swarm Lacrosse Fan Appreciation Giveaway

We are so excited about this quick giveaway we have for you guys! We were given the opportunity to see the Georgia Swarm Lacrosse team play a few months ago, and over Spring Break we were invited back. We had such a blast at our first game, we couldn't wait to go back.


The Swarm put on several theme nights throughout the season and at this particular game it was "Ladies Night" complete with a special diamond necklace drop. 


The game was highly entertaining, energetic, and exciting because the Swarm took home a W and already have their sights set on the Playoffs where they hope to bring the trophy back home to Atlanta- again! 





It was an amazing game, and an experience our kids will remember for a long time. They love the atmosphere of the Swarm games. From the constant music pumping through the stadium, to the fast paced game filled with unbelievably athletic players, and the chance to do the Swarm celebration dance every few minutes (because our home team knows how to score some goals) - the Swarm games are now one of their top sporting event requests. 




We have a blast and we chatted with our friends at the Swarm to cook up a little surprise for you. We teamed up for a fun little giveaway so that you guys can join in all the lacrosse fun too! 


WIN! 


We're giving away to one lucky winner the chance to attend the Fan Appreciation game on Saturday, April 20th. The winner will receive 4 lower level tickets and 4 special swag bags from the team. Enter below and the winner will be chosen at random and announced on Wednesday, April 17th. Winner will have 24 hours to claim prize or a new winner will be chosen!



For an additional chance to win head over to THIS POST on Instagram. Good luck everyone!


Who will you bring with you to #StingCity to cheer on the Georgia Swarm Lacrosse team on April 20th?

The Georgia Swarm


Okay friends, how did I not know we had a professional lacrosse team in Atlanta?! Not only did I not know about the Georgia Swarm, I didn't know they were the NLL World Champions in 2017!

I'll be honest, I know very little about lacrosse. A few friends played in high school, but I've never attended a game, let alone a professional one. The popularity of the sport is increasing in our area, and kids are starting to get into it younger. As a sports lover I've always been intrigued. So when the Georgia Swarm asked if we would like to attend a home game as a media guest we hopped at the chance to both see a live game and learn more about it. 


The Swarm play out of Infinite Energy Center just north of Atlanta. I learned that they are the only team part of the NLL to have a home base in the south. The next closest team is in New York. In fact, almost all of the teams in the NLL are based out of the northern states and Canada. I love that they chose the peach state to represent the southern fan base. 


And now after attending a game, I hope they never leave. 



Y'all it was SO. MUCH. FUN. From the minute we sat down in our seats, I we were entertained. 


The game is so face paced and reminds me a little bit of hockey. Cute loved it right off the bat, and has already asked repeatedly (1.) when he can play lacrosse? and (2.) when he can see another game? 


 We spent the first three quarters in lower level seats which had an awesome view of the field, but for the fourth quarter decided to change it up a bit. We were given Goal Zone passes as part of our media package and I wanted to check out that view too. 


The Swarm Goal Zone section resides at one end zone of the field. It has designated on-glass rows of seats, a spectacular view, and a bar with specialty cocktails. It also has a large stage for any surprise performers that might appear. 


I mentioned the view was amazing right?! 


Cute loved feeling like he was in on all the action. You get such an up close view of the game and the players! 


Right after I took this picture, two players slammed into the glass battling for the ball. Cute was beyond pumped after that. 


I had no clue lacrosse was such an intense game. I mean, they wear pads and some protective gear, but there's wrestling, checking, and flying sticks. Not to mention a tiny hard little ball flying around at such a fast speed. These players are tough.  


And they put it all out there which only adds to the excitement of the game. 

New Sting City shirt and merchandise was unveiled on Feb. 9th. I got an early sneak peek at the new line. 

I learned the Georgia Swarm fans love their players, and are beyond supportive of their home team. The cheering, chanting, and rallying never stops the entire time. And I get it. It's a wild and super fun sporting event experience. Everyone I brought to the game with me agrees and now the Georgia Swarm has a dozen new fans. 


Cute being the biggest of them all. As I was finishing up some things in the Goal Zone, he spotted the Swarm's goalie Mike Poulin. He ran right over, and even though Poulin was "off the clock" and trying to spend time with friends and family who came to support him during the game, he took the time to chat with Cute and take a few photos. 


Cute was so excited. I've literally heard every day how he needs to go back to game to see his friend Mike. Poulin and the Swarm have a fan for life. 


We can't wait to head back to Sting City to check out another home game. There are still a few left in the season with some fun theme nights thrown in too. 


In case you want to check out a Georgia Swarm game (you totally do!) here is what's scheduled for the remainder of the season.

#RunJumpFlyATL at the Children's Museum of Atlanta


Atlanta's weather has been cold and wet to say the least. And not the fluffy white fun kind of cold and wet. More like the brown soggy never ending kind of wet. Fortunately we live in a city that is chock full of fun indoor things for families to enjoy. The Children's Museum of Atlanta always tops my kids list. A few weekends ago we decked ourselves out in our finest cold rainy weather essentials and made our way to the new Run! Jump! Fly! Adventures in Action exhibit that opened on January 19th. 


We've been coming to the Children's Museum for years, and I love when they bring in these traveling exhibits because my children can interact and learn something new as well as enjoy their favorite museum staples. 


Run! Jump! Fly! promotes learning through movement by introducing kids to new activities such as Kung Fu, yoga, surfing, snowboarding, and rock climbing. 


Kids are able to keep track of their progress and even train in a specialized center to see if they have what it takes to be an action star. 


Run! Jump! Play! Might be one of our favorite exhibits yet! The kids had a blast at each center and didn't want to leave. 


They loved the hands-on (and foot. and total body.) interaction. Just what those tiny little bodies needed after being cooped up on a rainy cold day! 



I think one of their favorite parts of the exhibits was the snowboard and surfing simulator designed to let kids experience different forms of balance. There were even two types of boards so that the kids could check out a slightly more advanced boarding experience. L.C. told us she's ready to test out her skills on the "real" mountain.



The kids had so much fun. Whether we have rain, snow, or sun in our future I know we'll be back to check out the exhibit another time or two before it makes its way out of Atlanta on May 27th.



To learn more about the Children's Museum of Atlanta, purchase tickets to Run! Jump! Fly!, or what else the museum has to offer visit here.
