Go Nats!

Last night we took the kids to a Washington Nationals game.  We were hesitant about how they would do and how long they would last, but we thought we would give it a try.  We got to the stadium about 90 minutes before game time.  

The stadium is BEAUTIFUL!!  They had a great playground that Oliver enjoyed.  I took our tickets to the sales office to see if I could exchange them for handicapped seating.  We thought Waverly would last much longer in her stroller and we worry about her hitting or kicking someone with her constant movements.  They were wonderful and gave us seats in the same section that could accommodate her big stroller.  We had our own little area with a railing all around us.  The kids could walk around a little bit and Wavey couldn't reach anyone but us.  It was the perfect setup.

Wavery enjoyed the business of the stadium, although she startled easily with all of the loud noises.  She loved watching the big screen and eating the delicious snacks.  Oliver actually watched the field most of the time.  He loves when large groups of people clap, so this was his element.  He cheered, raised his arms in the air for "charge" and clapped whenever possible.  We stayed until the top of the 8th.  It was almost 10:00 and the kids were getting tired.  It had been such a perfect night, we didn't want to risk a meltdown.

It was such a wonderful family night!!!  Oliver took in his first baseball game and we made wonderful memories.  It was a very special night for Matt & I.
