Evening at the ballpark

Last night we decided to go to the Washington Nationals baseball game. It had been since May that we had been to a game so we were due! The seats we got were the best we had ever had!! We sat in section 132 row M. To give you a better idea of this seat in relation to the field. We where 13 rows back from the first baseman. We also made sure that these seats where on the side that the President race would be on, because that is one of Braydon's most favorite things to see at the game.

 

There is a restaurant that has quite the cult following. It's called Shake Shack and is an East Coast hamburger joint. I've been hearing all about this place for quite some time. They actually have a location at the Nationals Park. I decided to finally try it! While I wasn't overall thrilled (it reminds me of Steak and Shake) I did enjoy it. 

We managed to see two home runs during the game and Braydon even got a foul ball. Well Chris actually caught it and gave it to Braydon. The foul came off of Ian Desmond who happens to be one of Braydon's favorite players. The other is Bryce Harper, that poor boy had a bad game when it came to at bats.

One cool thing they do at Nationals Park is offer after game concerts. Unfortunately the day before our game was Sammy Hagar, and the game following was Gavin DeGraw. However, we got to see some Fireworks and that just made my little man's day, well not as much as the foul ball did!

 

We are starting off our labor day weekend right. First the ball game on Friday, Soccer and the pool on Saturday, and the movie Planes on either Sunday or Monday. 

Summer

I really can't believe that our summer is almost over! In a couple of weeks Braydon will be starting school! Yikes! I can't believe I just typed that!!!! My little boy is going to be in preschool. It's only M/W/F for half days, but still it will be weird not to be with him. But, it is good that he will be in school and getting him used to a learning environment before Kindergarten next year.

An update on what we did in July. We went to Kentucky to visit the hubby's family for the 4th of July. Then when we came back we kept busy with me doing photos, Chris working, and Braydon doing soccer. August was pretty much the same, except we managed to get a trip back to Chicago in during the month. We went home because my brother and sister-in-law had a baby shower.

Our trip home was eventful because Braydon had to go to the ER twice! Yes you read that right twice! This keeps his average of one ER visit a year in tact. It also manages to keep him good till he is 6 years old! He was running around my Aunt's house and hit his head on the kitchen island. This managed to cut him enough for a staple in his head. I think he was most upset about the ER visit taking time away from his fishing. The second visit included my first for the trip. We both had these unexplained spots on our bodies. His where under the arms and mine where on my back. Turned out to be a skin allergy for me and a hair follicle infection for Braydon. After a round of meds we are on the track to getting better.

With August coming to a close we are staying close to home. Next weekend is my birthday and who knows what we will be doing! Hopefully the hubby knows because I shouldn't have to plan my own birthday, should I?
