The HOF!

Standing at the site of the first HOF induction where the greats once stood. The museum was just one amazing artifact after another!!!

Baseball Hall of Fame

Before we went inside, there was plenty to see outside! Brooklyn posed with Woman at Bat and then with a Johnny Padres of the Brooklyn Dodgers (she set a goal to find her name 10 times, but far exceeded and found 82 other references to Brooklyn throughout the day!). Tyler did his best Satchel Paige and Roy Campanella impressions!

Baseball Card Shops

In most places that Tyler visits, he will beg and plead for someone to take him the 10-20 miles to the only baseball card shop in town. So you imagine how incredible it was for him to be in Cooperstown where there were at least 10 different shops on one block! But of all the shops, it was Yastrzemski's that had his personal crown jewel. His favorite player .... An Al Kaline 1954 Rookie card!

Cooperstown! Doubleday Field

First stop in Cooperstown was Doubleday Field! Legend has it that Abner Doubleday invented baseball at this very spot!

Father's Day!

Brooklyn's First Swim Meet!!

Had an awesome Father's Day weekend that was highlighted by Brooklyn's first swim meet! Both kids swam and did great. It was at a 50m (Olympic size) outdoor pool in Appleton. The weather was perfect and they swam fast!

Pitcher!!

At his game this week, Tyler got to play first base, second base, short stop, and PITCHER! He faced two batters and got the ball over the plate for both of them! He said it was his favorite game ever!

He did it!

T has been learning the algorithms to solve a Rubik's Cube. It's crazy tough just to watch a YouTube video and try to follow along. Especially since he has an off-brand cube where the colors are different than in the video! Now he needs to memorize the steps and amaze all he meets! And check out his checkerboard pattern he made from the solved cube!
