Opening Ceremonies

Saturday we were able to just hang out until the Opening Ceremonies that evening. Once we got to the fields it was ALOT of waiting.
And buying treats to pass the time


The festivites began with the American Flag being flown in by parchuters.

Then all 104 teams coming onto the field.

Best looking team of them all!

There were 2 teams from Canada. They got to sing the Canadian Anthem.

To finish up the festivites they had skills competions. The golden arm, home run derby, around the horn and the road runner. Jaxon got to particpate in the around the horn with some of his teammates.

It was a fun filled day.

Week 31

Blue Heron at Waters Edge

We rented a house in the town of Oneonta just outside of Cooperstown. It sat right on Lake Goodyear. It was beautiful!
The boys loved the lake. They couldn't swim in the lake but we had access to a paddle boat and a canoe. They had a blast.

Easton kept asking to "go on the boat race!" everytime he wanted to go to the boats.

Jaxon didn't get to spend much time on the lake. He spent all of his time including sleeping and meals at the Dreams Park. So he was only at the house for a short time each day if at all.

Jim was a good sport to play in the boats with the boys each day.

Lake Goodyear.

Our house was called the Blue Heron at Waters Edge.

Upstairs had 4 good sized bedrooms. So we all had our own rooms and Jim's cousin Sue and her husband Jeff came and stayed a couple days with us.

The boys would set out bread and watch for this squirrel to come get it.

If you can see the deer in the middle of this picture. It would come up closer to the house at night but we were at the ball park but Grandma Jones saw it twice in the backyard.

After a busy week in the city it was nice to have such a relaxing place to enjoy between games.

Week 30

Week 29

NY Day 6

So some people think I will forget the rest of our trip, so because of their inpatience.

Here is day 6.

What an adventure Jim got to drive in New York City! He did a mighty fine job.

We drove across the George Washington bridge to get out of Manhattan. That began our day of driving about 5 hours to Cooperstown and these are the only pictures I have of that day. So hang in there I really will post the rest of our trip. (even if my BFF has lost faith in me, just sayin.)

More to Come!

I have not forgotten the most important part and reason for our trip to New York. No I have not but this week has been crazy busy with more baseball, the Bandits are playing awesome I might add, and next week is Jonesfest. So my pictures of the day and the remainder of our trip are TO BE CONTINUE..... at a later date and not forgotten! So until then, Enjoy your summer! because it is almost over and that makes me sad.
