Cooperstown

I mentioned that I took Allen last week to Cooperstown, NY for a History Day competition. He and three other boys created a documentary on General Patton and they were chosen to compete in states! I am very proud of the boys. They did a great job...and they are just really good kids! Here is a view of the lake in Cooperstown at a 100 year old hotel that their presentation was held at.Here are the boys in front of the hotel. I told them to pose as if they were on the cover of an album. From left to right: Sam, Jared, Allen, Eric.
One of the cool thins of the day was that we all got free passes to all 3 museums in town. we spent a fair amount of time at the Farmer's Museum. I wanted to go to the Baseball Hall of Fame just to say I had gone there...but we were not able to. I had ridden along with Sam and his mother and they needed to get back home.
Cooperstown is a wonderful town to visit. I suggest you go there if you get a chance.

I like your photo of the boys. My kids sometimes take their own pictures that way.

Are the museums in Cooperstown very costly? Maybe it would be a good place for me take a daytrip sometime.

I don't know. Maybe you could find out online. Cost was not an issue that day for us. I am just so disappointed about not being able to take full advantage of that!

I would have taken more photos, but my camera batteries died.
