It’s been six years since we sweated it out at Camden Yards for Father’s Day, and we did it again – this time, without the on-field visit. The O’s got a nice win over the Phillies, so braving the heat was ultimately worth it!

Seeing the Soccer GOAT
June 14th brought more than the last day of school, as that night Lionel Messi was in town with Team Argentina to face Guatemala in a friendly match. It was a fun surprise to kick off summer, and Messi didn’t disappoint – scoring 2 of Argentina’s 4 goals and helping lead his team to victory!
DC United!
The family was psyched to be part of DC United’s home opener, having had some initial exposure to MLS soccer the summer before. It was a convincing 3-1 win over the New England Revolution and made for a chilly, but great night out!
