Away (Day 14)

As baseball season goes away (SOB, SOB, SNIFFLE!) for the year, the girls and I decided we could make our list of the top 10 (or a few more than that) things we each enjoyed about the season. That will give  us something to remember this off season until it's time to start next year.

S's list
1. Tyler Clippard bobblehead day
2. birthday cupcakes from Fluffy Thoughts
3. watching Asdrubal Cabrera hit a home run
4. Watching Bryce Harper's helmet fly off when he is running
5. Eating nachos
6. Seeing mom's Nats friends at the Red Porch
7. Watching Denard Span catch a ball up in the air jumping toward the wall (Spanning!)
8. When we were the East Division Champions! (Thanks mom for showing us the celebration the next day)
9. Watching baseball games on TV
10. Running the bases on Sundays after the games
11. When Screech was messing around with the Diamondbacks players in his snakeskin boots
12. Watching Ian Desmond play ball


A's list
1. getting my Jordan Zimmermann bobblehead in my birthday sack from the Nats
2. getting my bear named Buffalo (for Wilson Ramos)
3. Watching the Nats players hitting doubles

5. Teaching the Phillie Phanatic stuff from my Uncle that it needs to be "Nats fans"
6. That Jayson Werth has the same birthday as me
7. That Teddy was winning President's Races a lot
8. baseball poptarts with the Cleveland Indians symbol that reminds me of Asdrubal Cabrera's old team (we are glad we have him mom!)
9. sitting with Miss Jennifer
10. the Rally Elmo - both at the park and at Bobby Van's
11. screaming "Let's Go NATS!!" from our "pocket of 3 seats"

Mommy's list
1.  Opening day in NYC road trip
2. Gentleman Jerry Blevins dress-up night. Never thought I'd wear a little black dress to the ball park, but it was just right
3. Countless afternoons and evenings at the Red Porch with Nats twitter friends
4. the grins on the girls' faces with all the fun pictures from the day we were on the field
5. watching batting practice from the field
6. Game 2 of the NLDS (all 18 innings) with my dad and my brother
7. Game 1 of the NLDS - taking the kids out of school for their very first playoff game
8. meeting Adam LaRoche and Brad Ziegler through the Act of Valor finalist presentation
9. Road trip to Pittsburgh for Memorial Day weekend
10. Working with Ian  Desmond on the EndNF campaign in the month of May

***THE BEST MOMENT***: Witnessing Jordan Zimmermann's no hitter in person

It's been a baseball season full of fantastic memories. We are ready for next year!
