The Summer of Baseball

Sooooooo... It's Football season now, which means I have plenty of time to post pictures now. I originally thought we didn't have any pictures to post since we haven't unpacked my camera yet. But as I sit here, next to my psycho Michigan fan, I'm finding a bunch of good pics on both our phones of the summer we've had. (P.S. this Michigan/Notre Dame game is actually very intense!)

This post is about Our summer of Baseball.
Dave has, for one reason or another, become fascinated with baseball in every form. It all started when he first watched the Ken Burns Documentaries and since then owns Four new bsbll hats, Two new Mits and balls, One new Bat that still has never been used, and Six ticket stubs to some great, really hot baseball games.
Here's Utah Street (haha,jk) and the friendly purse checker, warmly welcoming us to the Orioles Stadium.
Pretty good seats from Stub Hub and very hot.
And then it rained for an hour thus putting the game on hold. It was fun hiding up in the top covered seats with Davey til the storm passed over.

While I was in Utah, Dave went to a Double Header for the Washington Nationals. I seriously couldn't believe that he could stand watching them play for eight hours straight!!! But he loved every minute of it, especially since he didn't have much else to do while I was out of town, but still...That's a lot of Baseball!!!!



I believe the next one was the Orioles game with Bryant, Alexis, and Garrett.
It was really really great to see our dear old friends. I haven't seen Dave laugh this hard in a while and it felt good to see him like that. Yay Orioles, and thanks Lex for the pic!


Then we spent a couple of days in New York, visiting Bryce and Shae. We had such a good time hanging out with them. Thank you so much B&S for everything, we love you so so so much and we had the best time stayin with you guys.
Of course we stopped at a Yankees game and Boy, was this one hot! This weekend was probably the hottest heat wave the east had all summer!!! I was over heating to the extent that I was falling asleep! It was crazy! But my man was so happy, which made it worth it. Plus it was fun to share that with my brother and sister.

And the last game we've been to was a Nationals game with Daves parents. They came and stayed with us for close to a week and we barely took any pictures! So lame of us! I guess we were too busy playin around! So this pic is from google. Kathie and I kept going back to get shaved ice (the best I've ever had!) to try and keep ourselves cool, and it worked pretty well, but still it was very very VERY warm. Thanks Tom and Kathie for coming to visit us. I know it really meant a lot to your son. He was so happy that he got to see you both and so was I!
So even though this was an activity I was really not used to, I really learned a lot and enjoyed supporting Dave with his excitement in the Great American Past Time.
Haha I wonder what next next summer will bring!!

  1. You guys are too cute :) Sounds like you had a fun summer! I still can't believe Dave went to that double header though... I can't imagine anything more boring! Haha, but don't tell him I said that ;)
