John and Tyler's first baseball game

What a great weekend! Beautiful weather and a baseball game with my boys. It doesn't get much better. Jerrod's best bud from CA was in DC for a lawyer's conference, so we decided to meet him and watch a Nationals game in their brand new stadium. The weather was perfect (sunny and mid 70's). The boys did great on the three hour car ride up and back. No throwing up by John and Tyler slept the entire way there and back. The DVD player wasn't working due to the fact John threw up all over it on the last car trip, but he didn't whine, complain, or cry the whole day (we left @ 8 am and got back @ 10:30 pm).

As you can see from the pictures, we had awesome seats (second row behind the visiting team dugout). It was nice that John got to experience his first MLB game so close to the action. John really liked the fireworks when the Nationals hit a home run and the eagle mascot. I'm so glad he's not scared of things like loud noises and people dressed up in crazy furry costumes like some kids are. Tyler also enjoyed the game, but didn't get an afternoon nap due to the fact he was so interested in all of the sights and sounds at the ballpark. He reached his breaking point during dinner and had to be held, but on the way home, he fell asleep in the car before we even got out of the parking lot.

I'm sure this was the first of many baseball games we'll see as a family. Here are some pictures of our day.
