Rootin' for the Home Team

On Friday night, P and I took the kids, who are 3 and 8, to see the Nationals play. The tickets were only $3 apiece, so we figured we had little to lose. What a great night! The weather was gorgeous, the kids lasted the whole nine innings, and the Nats won. Can’t ask for more than that.

The trick to bringing young children to baseball games is to feed them. And feed them and feed them. We had Cracker Jack during the first inning, lemonade during the third, and Dippin’ Dots during the fifth. After that, they were too glassy-eyed with sugar and fatigue to cause much trouble.

I love living so close to the stadium. I for one will be very sad when the team moves to a new stadium. If they ever do.
