Mother's Day at the Ball Park!

Happy Mother's Day!

Andrea knew exactly how I wanted to spend Mother's Day - at the Washington Nationals brand-new stadium. Going to major league baseball games on Mother's Day is a Foster family tradition!

The first 20,000 fans were given white hats, each sporting a pink curly W and a little pink ribbon. (I'm wearing one but you can't see these details.)

Welcome to the new ballpark of the Washington Nationals!

It is a very nice stadium with no bad seats in the house!

Here is Andrea on his first visit to the new stadium. What a good sport he was, despite a lot of walking and a lot of rain!

Can you tell from the photo below that the batter is using a pink bat? It was Breast Cancer Awareness Day and the players used pink bats! Andrea was going to buy me one but apparently they can be purchased online only.

It was a perfect day except for one missing element - my sons. (And the score of the game, too, was less than perfect.) But it is a Mother's Day that I will happily remember. Andrea definitely stepped up to the plate!
