We went to DC over the 4th of July weekend to see Drew. I'll need to do separate posts for all the different things we did....Anyway, the Nationals were having a Family Fun Day, so we decided to go. For $1 more per ticket we were able to get a hot dog, chips, and a drink! The girls got Nationals lanyards with a plastic pocket to hold their tickets. We hadn't been to the new ballpark yet...it's a beautiful place to watch a game....too bad they stink so bad!! BUT, we were lucky to see them hold on to beat the Braves 5-3!! 
In the top of the 9th there was a home run that hit the backs of the seats in our row about 6-7 seats over!!! The seats happened to be empty, and if Drew wasn't such a good dad (worried about bowling over his 6 year old)...we would have had a nice souvenir!!! 
This was David's first MLB game!! He was sooo good, even though he was tired. He danced every time some music came on and only got scared when we cheered loudly at the end of the game.
There was a picnic table area right by our seats where we ate our food...so much nicer than trying to balance a bunch of stuff on your lap! 
The view from our seats...it was such a perfect day. It was only about 75 degrees and a lot of cloud cover with a nice breeze...we couldn't have asked for better weather. 
All kids ages 4-12 were invited to run the bases after the game!!! The girls were excited, but so were Drew and I! (I love the look on Drew's face in this picture!) It was so cool to be down on the field!! 
And...they're off!

Oh, Steph, these are AMAZING!!!
What a terrific day, but you have the pictures to capture those memories! Love the ones of the girls running the bases.
Sounds like a perfect day.
I loved seeing you guys Monday night.
Nice bonus for me.
Oh my goodness! Alli is so cute saying it was the best day of her life. You must be doing pretty good as parents to get that reaction!!!!!!
great pictures! what day did you go? we were there friday night!
There is nothing like a great night at the ball park! My girls love to do that, too!
That looks like a WONDERFUL time! I am sad that you two are apart. That has to be so hard on multiple levels. I am sure you know though, Drew getting a paid internship for the summer is almost unHEARD of in this economy so even if the benefits aren't hugely awesome right now, I have a good feeling next year at this time, you guys are going to be in an unrecognizably and wonderfully different place... wait... he is done next year, right ;-)
What a day full of life-long family memories. The photos are great. However, I would have been running on the field too...away from those Nationals mascots. They are SCARY!!
