Fun Times

So just a quick update on what I have been doing this last week. Last Tuesday was supposed to be the big playoffs for Corey's slow pitch team but the lights turned off ten minutes early. At that point the score was 23 to 12, top of the fourth, bases loaded, no outs (Corey's team ahead and on base). The opposing team insisted that the game needed to be finished so tonight I went out in the rain to see the final three innings of the game. They won, but the other team did put of a bit of a fight and the end result was a narrow 25 to 22 victory.

 

Their team name was Bull Moose 

Last Saturday Corey and I were invited to attend the Nats game with Ben and Becky (other Calvin grads who are on Corey's team). Ben is the tall one with "antlers" and Becky is to the right in the picture above. The Nats lost to the Phillies, but we had some awesome seats up on the third deck behind home plate and it was a fun game to watch. I had never before seen any professional baseball games until moving out here to DC and now I have already seen three this season plus the two I went to last fall. It is pretty cool. 

If you look close you can even see the ball in the second picture. 

As you all know this Monday was Memorial Day and while my plans had been to sit around home I ended up going to the parade. Mostly I went because after talking to Mom I felt a bit guilty that I was in our Nation's Capital and wasn't doing anything on the holiday. I went with some housemates and watched a good portion of it, but you can only watch so many high school marching bands and people dressed up in old military uniforms before it just gets boring. We ended up leaving early.
