The Last of Summer

 I think we did a good job of making the most of the summer but I sure could stand if it lasted a little longer!

 Fun times with Kenley and Isaiah.

 Someone decided that since she was going to kindergarten and growing up and stuff, it was time to start eating salads for lunch.  Not.my.kid.

 This is more my style!

 It was finally time to take supplies to school and meet teachers!

 Taylor got Chase's old kindergarten teacher and could not be happier about the whole thing!

 We took the kids on their first adventure to Dave & Buster's.

 Larger than life claw machine.

 We bought play cards, played games, cashed in tickets and were back to the car in 32 minutes.  We don't mess around.

 Luckily that left time for lunch at Chuy's!

 Dave tried his hand at teaching Chase to ride his bike.

 There were a few rough moments but he made more progress than I had so far!

 Sunday we hit the road for a trip to DC to see the Nationals game.

 Chase was excited to take his most favorite lady with him.

 Taylor and Natalie have a good time together too!

 Met up with his buddy Kaleb at the game.  Poor Kaleb doesn't own any Nationals gear ;)

 Checking out batting practice.

 We had to sit in right field so Chase could be close to Bryce Harper.

 Before the game, Dave was yelling at the guys warming up down by the bullpen.  He got the attention of Wilson Ramos and had him wave to Chase.

 Chase was mortified.  His dad can embarrass him already!

 The girls checking out the bullpen action.

 Waited in line for 2 innings for this ice cream.  He said it was worth it.

 After the game, the rush for the metro was too much for me so we decided to trot around town awhile.

 We made a pit stop in the Air and Space museum.

 Quick stop in front of the capitol (and the sun!) for a photo!

 Back to the metro and headed home.

 My kids were obviously not amused with my photo taking.

 When we got back to the car, Dave grabbed a note off the windshield and started circling around the car.  He opens the door and tells me that someone left a note saying they hit our car but they left their number.  He says he doesn't see any damage but wants me to look.  As I start to get out I ask him if the number might possibly be 804...614.... to which he finally grins and realizes we know who it is!  Kaleb was pretty proud of his stunt!  I just wish I had taken a picture of Dave walking around the car to send to him!  It was pretty funny.

We finished off the summer by hitting up the pool on the last day (with everyone else in town!).  The kids could have cared less about the water once they found the labor day sale at the snack bar!  25 cent popcorn - can't beat it!
