1st MLB game O's vs Rangers Aug 20, 2010

Tonight we went to Oriole Park for Cooper's first major league baseball game. He had fun. We went early for batting practice and showed Cooper around the stadium. Cooper had his ticket signed by Cesar Iztirus and Kevin Millwood. Kevin Millwood gave him not only 1 but 2 high fives and told him to enjoy his first game.

Cooper was super excited to see the Oriole Bird. He cheered and chanted along with the fans. His excitement was heightened by the kid zone area where he was able to pitch and hit balls and play in the moon bounce and on the playset. And on the drive home he used the giant orange hand that Steve and Donna lent him to cheer more and drink his milk before bed.

July 4th in Geneva

We spent July 4th in New York with Grandma and Grandpa Phippen. The five days were packed with fun. We took the boat down the lake for lunch one day. Cooper loved every minute from skipping stones on the dock to driving the boat. On July 4th we went to the Schroeders lake house for a BBQ and watched the fireworks. Cooper had a blast swimming in the lake, playing with his second cousins and staying up late to watch fireworks.
