Camp William B. Snyder

Gar and I visited the new CAMP WILLIAM B. SNYDER in Haymarket on Saturday, for their little seminar on shooty-things... archery, slingshots, horseshoes and especially b.b. guns. Garrett was quite enchanted with the concept, and picked it up disturbingly easy.







Private Pyle! I do believe we found something you're good at! Well done!

Later on we caught the Nats/Os game on Saturday. This was the third in the famous "Battle of the Beltway" rivalry that appears to be shaping up. I think this is a good thing, as it cements loyalty for the teams. A lot of folks (like myself) went to a LOOOOT of O's games, back in the Memorial Stadium era. We have fond memories of that time period and so a rivarly with Baltimore will probably be a friendly one.





Alas, poor Gar was a little worn out by a day of shooting things.



The game was a real blow out at 8-3, highlighted by extremely mediocre pitching on the part of the Orioles... I haven't seen anyone take that many balls to the face since the grand old days of 70s porn.

Fortunately we had such diversions as "WHO DANCES BETTER...?"



The Orioles Raven...?



Or the Nationals' Eagle...?

Battle of the chickens!

A great day to be sure, but we were ready to hit the hay when we got home that night.
