Running the bases

We spent quite a few evenings this summer cheering for the Squirrels.  For this time, J organized our group to sit in a party zone.  For our group, there was regular seating and seating with tables, and a little room to stretch.

The kids had a great time eating.

And running the bases after the game.  This was Cooper's first time doing this.  And I need to work on my action photography, but look at those long legs.

Summer Baseball Love

Cooper loves his baseball, especially when it comes to the Flying Squirrels.

 

We are one silly family. But that's what makes it fun.

First Baseball Game of the Season

 It's catch up time, so excuse the old posts but I just realized I missed most of April after Easter,

The boys love Flying Squirrels Baseball.  Yes, I said Flying Squirrels.

 Like father, like son.

Glad I had him to snuggle with because it was a little chilly that night.  He was so excited, and can't wait for a long season full of games.

Silly with Grammy!

Before heading to the beach, we stopped by Grammy and Poppa's for a visit.  Someone couldn't resist being silly.  He's also getting pretty good at hitting the ball with the bat.  Not bad for a three year old.

 What's going on Dad?

 Foul BALL!

 The people behind me are more fun than watching the game.

One cool dude.

First Nutzy Watch of the Season

He was convinced he was going to catch a foul ball.  When he wasn't looking, J snuck a team baseball into his glove.  Cooper was in awe that Daddy had helped him catch a ball that he didn't even see.  His night was definitely made (and he slept with the ball).  He didn't get any up close and personal Nutzy sitings.  Maybe next time. 

Memorial Day Fun

Running and jumping into the pool.

Baseball practice with Poppa.  And he made his first couple of hits.

Jet ski riding.

Water fun with Mommy, including jumping off the bow of the boat for the first time.

Boat riding with Grammy and Poppa.

Whew.  I am exhausted.  Unfortunately, J didn't get to come with us because he was home battling a horrible bug.  We had a great Memorial Day weekend celebrating with family and friends.

A very long weekend

Our weekend started on Wednesday night when Cooper came home with a fever.  I should have known something was up when he was quiet in the car, because that never happens.  He laid on the couch the rest of the evening with a fever.

He stayed home Thursday with Daddy who also caught the same bug. They watched lots of old school cartoons, all while running a fever of 102.  By the evening, he was the energizer bunny.  See how fast the pages are moving on his book.

Thank goodness he finally crashed.

Friday was more of the same, which meant we missed Papa's 70th Birthday Party. We very disappointed to miss celebrating, but I hope the partygoers are happy we kept our germs to ourselves.

Cooper did decide he wanted to do lots of potty training that day, so who are we to stop him.

Pay careful notice to the missing cushion, and I will let you connect the dots on why the cushion was missing.

By Saturday, we were all a little stir crazy.  I won tickets to the Squirrels Baseball game, so we packed up with a fever-free kid.  The weather was unusual in that the humidity finally broke, and we had a great time.  The people we sat around were nice and friendly, and gave Cooper all kinds of kid-friendly stuff.

That picture sums up so much of the weekend.

By Sunday, everyone was back to normal except we discovered a new Cooper.  Terrible Two Cooper.  If anyone finds our happy, loving, easy-going child, please send him our way.
