Wednesday night was Peace Corps night at the Washington Nationals park. Traditionally, before that game the Peace Corps staff and alum carry out flags celebrating the countries where we've had a presence. Traditionally, the Nationals were horrible and the flags were displayed to about 5,000 fans.
Now that the Nats are the best team in baseball, this game and the ceremony are pretty special. Patrick carried out the Kenyan flag (he's second on the left below) before 26,000 fans - he was even on the jumbotron for a moment.
Patti sacrificed her sanity and brought the kids down for the game and met up with Patrick after the pre-game flag ceremony. Between the wrangling of the kids and all of the usual commotion, we managed to watch about two innings but the kids LOVED it. Maggie clapped every time anything happened, Stella sat happily on our laps, and Will enjoyed his pizza and attention from our friends.
