Some pics from our summer adventures (part I)

Here are some pics from Fathers Day, 4th of July in Chincoteague, and just hanging out around town. We're off on a NE swing so more pics will follow when we return.

June - July 2011

Go Nats!

The Juliano-Zibel Family had a great Labor Day weekend. Courtney, Travis, and Grady came to visit us and a good time was had by all - the boys sort of played together in the house, the park, the zoo, a spray park, etc. - suffice to say a lot of energy was expended by Benjamin and Grady over the past 72 hours.

While the Millbrooks went to Air & Space and headed to the airport, we went to the Nats-Mets game, as we've had these tickets for months. Benjamin did his best to date at a baseball game, lasting into the 6th inning (better than both starting pitchers!). He probably could have stayed a bit longer, but his parents wanted to make sure he napped on the way home. Benjamin, we think, is still undefeated and is clearly a good luck charm for the Nats who crushed the Mets 13-7 - must have been his dancing. See video and pics below.

Benji's Big Adventure: His First Baseball Game

Several of the last Sundays, when the Nationals have been in town, we have toyed with taking Benjamin to his first baseball game. This morning, we decided today was the day!

The nats were clinging to a 2-1 lead when their closer blew it and gave up a solo home run in the top of the 9th. BUT, as we were walking home from the bus (we left in the bottom of the 9th because we were all hot and tired), we heard the fireworks implying they'd won. So while he didn't see it, we're pretty sure the Nats pulled it out in Benji's honor.

Pictures and a short video are below.
