Chase turns 4 at Camden Yards

We got to celebrate Chase's fourth birthday at an Oriole's game, which pretty much thrilled Oliver and was fun for the rest of us, too.  The visiting team?  The Boston Red Sox.  And nobody in our row was cheering for them, either.  The Oriole was supposed to come pay Chase a special visit in the fourth inning, but the fourth inning came and went.  By the time the seventh inning ended, we started to worry.  After mom (Zoezoe) had a word with the people in charge, the Oriole finally came to pay us a visit before the end of the game, after all.  Chase LOVED it.

 Here he is after Nick Johnson's home run...

The Oriole had come to visit Chase in the second inning, but ended up serenading the folks a few rows in front of us instead.  We should have known by their confusion that the Oriole was really there for Chasey.  Well, those people got a nice take-home bag, too, and all's well that ends well.  Except that the Red Sox won.
