:: first baseball game ::

Besides the fact that Owen was basically born with a baseball bat in his hand, he loves the game. His interest is even held by televised games (now I have two of them in the house.....). So, it was very exciting to watch him play in his first Little League game. Sure, t-ball was fun, but this is where it's at!

As I started to look through these photos, I noticed that Owen basically whistled his way through this game. Now, he does whistle quite often, but this is just amusing.

Bring it home, O!

We hopped in the car again for a 5-hour trip, this time to Marquette, MI to celebrate the marriage of my cousin, Jaren, and his lovely new wife, Kate. We brought a few cute faces along...

The ceremony took place at Trailhead Park, complete with a peaceful woods setting, a string quartet, birds chirping, complimentary white umbrellas, and a few mosquitos.

The reception took place at The Waterfront Restaurant in downtown Marquette. The venue's rustic modern interior included exposed brick walls and wooden beamed ceilings. It made for a warm and intimate atmosphere, and a very enjoyable party!

Their first kitty cocktails.

The band, The Appleseed Collective, was amazing. They were so fun to listen and dance to...and the impromptu Chicken Dance may have gotten a little crazy...
