Police Memorial, Baseball game, Shopping
Today we got up early, like always and started another new and exciting day! First, we started with going to the police memorial, at this memorial Zach’s grandpa has been honored. Zach’s grandpa died in the line of duty, most likely dying doing a job that he loved. Janeen, (Zach’s mom) told Zach to tell all of us what and why we came to this specific memorial; he said “umm, my grandpa’s name is here. And uh yeah he died when he was a police officer.” Janeen then told us about how he died on duty.
Next, we went to a Washington D.C. Nationals baseball game. It was awesome; many of us bought sweet foam fingers, either blue or red. During the game, the TV would put up the word “CHARGE!” And then everyone would have to yell charge. Most of us did pretty good, but Mr. Hindman was a little slow on about the timing of it all. During the 5th inning they had a presidents race, Abraham Lincoln totally dominated! The baseball game was intense, it went in to the 11th inning, (really there are only 9). It was awesome; I have never been to a baseball game that has gone that long! The game never ended, we got rained out and then the game was done for the night. I want to thank all the parents for letting us go to this game, it was one of the most intense games most of us have ever been too.
Finally, we ended the day with shopping, wonderful right? Most of the girls bought promotion items, either slacks or skirt. We got back on the metro after 2 hours of long shopping. Everyone seems to have had an extraordinary day!

Taylor - Thanks for all of the specific and fun details. I would have like to hear Janeen's story about her dad and how he died while on duty - it's sad but heroic. Also, what are "promotion" items that the girls bought? - Mrs. Leeper

What was the memorial like? I must have been really cool to get to go to a baseball game. I've heard that sometimes there is so many people at a professional game that it takes like a hour to get out of the stadium.
HAVE FUN
