The reason behind our trip to Maryland was to have a day to honor my Uncle Larry. The best way to honor him had to be an Orioles game followed by steamed crabs. We met up with Aunt Joan, cousin Chris, cousin Mike, his fiancee Katie and her kids, Lily and Brandon. Uncle Larry's friends Barb and Les also joined us. We all met at Camden Yards. Everyone went up to our seats, but I took Finley around the ballpark so that she could she the best stadium in all of baseball. I also wanted to make sure we went up the ramps to our seats, the same way I went up to my seats whenever I went with Uncle Larry.  Aunt Joan brought Finley the most adorable baseball clips, as luck would have it, they went perfectly with her crab outfit.  The crab outfit was purchased by Uncle Larry and Aunt Joan for Finley awhile back, it just now fits!

We were very lucky that the game was not at all crowded, we basically overtook a whole section and we had the club level right behind us to take breaks from the heat. Finley devoured three hot dogs, it was crazy. She must taste the difference quality makes.  The Orioles started out poorly, back to back homeruns by the Indians in the first inning.  The Orioles came through and scored eight runs, which gave them the win. 

After the victory, we headed over to Obryckis to feast on crabs.  They were so delicious!  Finley did fantastic all day and I was so thrilled that we were able to honor my Uncle Larry in such a special and fitting way.  I know it would have been a perfect day in his eyes.  We all love you Uncle Larry!
