It started a little late due to rain. It rained on us once more and hailed on us after that. Then it got really cold and we just and to bear with it. I was all bundled up.
Well Laynce Nix came up to bat it was his first time up to bat in his career. He hit a line drive foul ball off a 92 mph pitch and it came straight towards us. We were sitting a little to the left of home plate.
My Dad caught that ball with his left hand bare handed and it ended up bruising his hand. I will get a picture of that later and add it on but for now this is the pic you get. The other two people in the picture with my Dad are Marissa and Seth Whitaker. She is the Seminary teacher in Bell Haven Ward. The other family ward in our area. He came away with a game ball and a bruise to prove it.
Then of course I had to have a hot dog and a soda. They were Awesome hotdogs and it was a Barques Root Beer. So delicious.
Also during a Nationals Game their is what they call a "President's Run". 4 people dress up like 4 Presidents of the United States and they have huge heads and normal size bodies. It is funny to watch them run. Well this game they were on tandem bikes. I got the camera out late and had a problem with the shutter it didn't open all the way. But I hope you can somewhat see what they had to do.

I'm so jealous... especially since the Braves WON!!! Woot woot! But yeah one of my goals in life is to leave a game with a game ball... can't wait to move back to GA so I can get to more games again. Looks like lots of fun! Go Braves!
How fun! And ouch! Way to go Dad!
