I went home for Memorial Day Weekend. To see the fam, and also to see Kayla play softball and to go to see the Nat’s new stadium. It’s beautiful. Check it. Supposedly, it’s the largest scoreboard in all of MLB.
Here’s Kayla getting ready to take the field. You’ll note there is a lot of pink going on with these kids outfits. There’s pink helmets, pink mitts, pink batting gloves, pink bats, pink shoes. Surprisingly, the balls are not pink. But yellow. So it’s easier to pick them up in the batter’s box.
Her team name was the Red Cherries 
They faced a team called the Vicious Puppies. The Vicious Puppies were just as their name advertised. Some good hitters on the Puppies. And the dads were just as vicious. In this league, kids are just supposed to take one base on a hit. And you bat all the way through. You can record outs but it doesn’t matter if you get nobody out or everybody out. But these dads were having their kids go for extra bases if it got past the infielders or if the infielders bobbled the ball. Not cool.
Then on Sunday, we went to see the new Nats’ stadium. Here’s all three generations of Nat’s fans in the Shelkey family. 
We had a lot of different food at the ballpark including some half smokes with chili, cheese, and onions on them, some boardwalk frieds, cotton candy, regular hot dogs, and of course–dots!
I was a little disappointed the dots didn’t come in the plastic baseball hat. But I guess you can’t get EVERYTHING right in the first year right?
And finally, a style debate. I got a blue Nats’ cap b/c my red one which Purnell awesomely procured for me before is a little too small. But now I think I got one too big. So I need that goldilocks one in between. Note: It is really hot in my apt, and I have my shirt off. So that’s why you get to see the sexy shirtless hat pics. I feel like it’s too early to turn on the air conditioning. So I am surviving on shirtlessness and a fan.
