The Caps

Another Spring, another playoff series with the New York Rangers. That's four in the last five years. The Caps won in 2009 and 2011 and the Rangers took last year's meeting in seven games.

So far this series, the Caps lead two games to one with game four at Madison Square Garden Wednesday evening and game five this coming Friday evening at Verizon Center. I'll be there and will bring my camera to see if I can get anything interesting from my seat.

Here are a couple from the 2009 series. This was taken with a Nikon D40, my first camera where all I knew them was to point it and shoot.

Stay tuned and Let's Go Caps!!!

Ben's Soccer Pictures

Hard to believe this is Ben's fifth Spring soccer season. We first enrolled him in a Mini Soccer program in March 2009 and he's progressed since, playing both Fall and Spring sessions.
It's a blast watching him play every week and he really enjoys himself out there.

Ben is learning about other sports via PE at school, through books and magazines. I take him to a variety of college and professional sporting events as well.

He participated in his first basketball program and maybe this Summer I can enroll him in a week long session to keep his skills fresh.

I like this set of photos I took this past Saturday. He's growing fast!

Beautiful place to attend Sunday Mass and walk around. We plan to go back in the Fall and have a picnic. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

 

 

Hershey Park

 

We took a long weekend to Hershey Park during Ben's Spring Break from school. Hershey Park was open for a three weekend abbreviated Spring Session and we took advantage of the weather to tour both the zoo and park.

It was a nice adventure, all three of us had a blast and plan to go back again soon.
