One of our favorite perks of being partial season ticket holders with the Nat's is getting to go to Fan Appreciation Day. Last year we got to take a picture with Screech which was exciting because he doesn't usually pose for pictures.
To accommodate the large crowds, they let everyone come down on the field and stand around the warning track. Then different players, coaches, and media personalities walk around the inside of the track. Some just wave, some shake hands, some do autographs. They spread themselves out over something like a two hour period, some going clock wise, others going counter clockwise. Timmy entertained himself by being the photographer with my cell phone, all of these field pictures are his, some you can tell more then others!

Timmy and Tyler were autograph magnets. It was awesome. Tim was particularly excited to get the manager's autograph, I want to say his name was Davey Johnson. He will correct me if I am wrong. Hopefully he will tell me who the un-captioned people are in Timmy's photos too. ;) I was extremely impressed with Gio Gonzalez, he spent the entire time on the field signing as many autographs as he could. I don't think he got half way around the stadium, but we were lucky that he got as far as us. I told him how classy I thought it was for him to spend that much time with his fans too.
It was hot, and it was nap time. Tyler was up on my shoulders for a lot of the time, then he started putting his head on my head and told me he was napping. Poor kid, he actually fell asleep like this for a little while!
When both boys had had enough we posed for a few more pictures by the outfield wall on our way out of the stadium.
