The children of Monte, who is a long time
The "Party" included a tour of the park before it was open to the general public. We were all able to see the owner's suite, media area, and the very exclusive Diamond Club. That is were George and Barbara Bush sit when they go to the games.
Here is the whole group in the Diamond Club seats watching batting practice. Monte and his beautiful bride of 46 years Toni are front and center.
And here is batting practice with batting coach Jeff Bagwell (big deal to Astros fans)
3 of Monte's 4 children's families were able to attend. Here is Monte Jr.'s family, Monte Jr was called away earlier in the week on emergency business and was not able to return in time. Monte Jr.'s daughters Makayla and Jessica are on the front row and his wife Amy and Monte Sr.'s Sunday School teacher are on the back row. Side note: Monte Jr. no longer goes by Mac or Macky for those of you who have known him his entire life.
Monte's youngest grandson Paul Copeland and two of his son-in-laws Taylor Hendrix and Kevin Copeland.
In back, Millie Copeland (Monte's youngest), the youngest grandchild Anslee Copeland, and Marsha Hendrix (Monte's second daughter)
Monte enjoying his cake and game. Also note after 80 years he finally got his first tattoo, look closely at his right hand. It was just temporary, Anslee, Paul and Marsha all got one too.
And for fun the whole group in the elevator during the tour.
Everyone had a great time and the Astros actually won!
