It's like another world here; slow-paced and seasonal.
It could fall off the map entirely if it weren't for baseball - no joke.
You don't stay at hotels when you visit Cooperstown. You rent an old house or an apartment.
Our house was over 100 years old and called 'All Aboard'. Back in the day it was the last stop for the railroad, evidence by the tracks that are literally in the back yard covered now in moss and twigs.
We had the entire 2nd floor...
All the comforts of HOME
Our house was lovely...
2 big bedrooms, an office, full kitchen, a grill in the backyard, full use of the house including the laundry facilities in the basement + all the charm in the world.
Luke was staying the entire week at Dreams Park with his Team & Coaches so it was just the 3 of us. It was quiet and quaint. It rained, we did crafts and took walks in town.
You almost forget that you have games to go watch - especially after you've enjoyed happy hour on the porch swing.
On the schedule for Saturday was the OPENING CEREMONIES.
I volunteered to go on the field with other moms and made friends go with me.. thank you Patti & Susie.
And yes, we got to keep that blinding pink Cooperstown Mom shirt.
Dreams Park Sky Divers
Team ORANGE CRUSH was introduced...
The festivities finished up with Skills Competitions.
Below is a picture of them doing 'Around the Horn'... they did great and didn't drop the ball once!
The boys will wear BLUE as Visitors and RED as the Home team.
Luke is #6 this week and games will start tomorrow... so exciting!
