Adventure Park & Baseball

On Emma's actual birthday she wanted to do a rope course again. We found a groupon and all went together. This is the course. 

 They all did great!

 The only bad part of this course is that the ONLY way down is a jump off the edge. I was starting to get a bit shaky and was looking for a way down. Couldn't do it. Only one way off the course. Here is Rebekah jumping off.

 Here's a video of Emma jumping off

After that fun-filled adventure we went off to a baseball game, per Emma's request. The Orioles were playing the Cardinals. Clay had an extra hat for me to wear.

Fenway Park

Clay had a two day trip to Boston for work. He took advantage of it to see a baseball game at Fenway Park. It was the Red Socks vs the Yankees. What a great rivalry! His seat was right next to the Green Monster.

Here's a little video he took of them singing "Sweet Caroline".

Cooperstown, NY

We spent the night in Palmyra. In the morning we drove to Cooperstown. On our way we stopped at a small cemetery and found some of our Murray ancestors.

These are Clay's 4th Great-grandparents buried in Unadilla Forks Cemetery.

Then off to the Baseball Hall of Fame!

First off, I just have to say that we ate lunch here. Probably the best pizza I've had!

The girls were very excited to see all the displays for the Cardinals. Clay has raised them to be Cardinal fans. I enjoyed seeing the display for the women's team (remember A League of Their Own). The girls were excited to see Albert Pujols' jersey.

 They all got new baseball hats. I how ever could not bring myself to get a Cardinals hat. I am not a big baseball fan. I am happy to spend time with my family while they watch a baseball game. I am happy to cheer on the Cardinals. However, when it comes time to "root for the home team" it's the L.A. Dodgers for me. 

 Here is the actual Hall of Fame with cool plaques on the walls for each year.

They had these cute Lego sets in the gift shop. 

The rest of the town was very picturesque. We enjoyed walking around the town and along the southern end of Otsego Lake.

Cardinals vs. Nationals

Uncle Jay invited us to go to the Cardinals game with him. We all dressed in red and drove out to Jay's place. We took the water taxi from Alexandria to the stadium. 

During the game we taught Emma how to keep score. Too bad the Cardinals lost. Seems every time Clay and Jay get together for a Cardinals game they loose. Gotta break that...
