Take me out to the ball game ...


... buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks ... Well, we didn't buy peanuts or crackerjacks, but we did go by Metro to the ballpark to see the Nationals play the Seattle Mariners. Even though we left after about six innings, we saw all the scoring (2-1, Nationals) and had a great time on a nice evening in a beautiful ballpark with Mark and the boys (Marta was in class).


One of the features at every home game the Nationals play is the "Presidents Race" where "Washingon, Jefferson, Old Abe and Teddy Roosevelt" race one another around the outfield. The boys are pictured prior to the game with "Old Abe."

Of course, since we were all in the D.C. area for Nancy's birthday, we did celebrate with a beautiful cake that Marta purchased at a nearby bakery, and even managed a birthday dinner at a nice restaurant for the four of us adults! - rw

Where is Nancy when she should be commenting on advancing in age one more year?!

Firstly, isn't Micah wearing Daniel's shirt? And secondly, who won the president's race?

Micah was very upset at home that he couldn't find his Washington Nationals' shirt. We tried to help, but it didn't turn up. Hence, the substitution. - Dad

And, someone else will have to remember who won the Presidents' race!
