I'm not talking about Disney World. I'm talking about Cooperstown, NY where baseball players' dreams come true! Cade had the opportunity to travel to the park for the annual 12 year old tournament that is hosted for teams from all over the nation throughout the summer. Only Bobby and Cade made the trip because the thought of riding in a car for 18 hours with the rest of everyone else made me feel nauseated. It was some good father/son bonding!
The MAD Mayhem
One of the big things to do was to collect pins from all of the teams represented. This is Cade and his teammate Blake looking through their wares.
All of the boys and coaches stayed together in dorm style housing. I'm pretty positive that this thrilled Bobby to no end.:)
Cade put the perfect swing on a pitch and rounded the bases for a homer. It was surely one that he'll never forget!
Grandma and Grandpa made the trip too and they were there to see every swing and pitch. Talk about dedication!
How cute is this shirt my mom found? I know she sported it proudly!
There was a little down time too and Cade and Bobby and some of his teammates went to the Baseball Hall of Fame. There was a ton of really cool stuff to look at. I think Bobby was way more into it than Cade since he's had more time to fall in love with baseball and it's greatest players.
Overall the team did really well finishing out 19th of 104 teams. I consider that pretty remarkable. Most of all there were memories made to last a lifetime!
