Trip of a Lifetime: Day 4-8

For the next four days we stayed in the little town of Cooperstown, New York.
For those of you who are baseball fans, this rings a bell.
Cooperstown is the home of the Baseball Hall of Fame!

The whole point of this trip was because my little bro is in a tournament here with his baseball team. I absolutely loved having the down time and just hanging out with the families of our team, they were so much fun and I met a lot of new people! Utah Aces rock.

There was like 10 of us that rented out a house near the park. It was up on a hill like all by itself, so so green there! It was a cute, little red house. It's definitely the way to go if you ever get to go there. The best thing was probably going out onto the deck at night and seeing all the fireflies! The coolest thing, I wish I could catch some and bring them home.

I made this picture extra large so you can see that yellow light right in the middle of the picture...firefly.

This is the view from the porch of the house we were staying at. Sooo green.

Opening ceremonies of the tournament.

We sat for 4 hours waiting for the rain to stop before they ended up rescheduling for the next morning. I love rain though! It rained a couple days there.

 At the baseball Hall of Fame, my mom has most of the pictures so I'll have to do a post with pictures that I missed. Braves girl.

These are seats from the original Red Sox stadium and the "9" which stands for one of the greatest players of all time...Ted Williams...used to hang when they retired his jersey.

The Hall of Fame was FILLED with the coolest memorablia, everything and anything you could ever think of. From Babe Ruth's bat to Cy Young's shoes to Buster Posey's catchers helmet. Everything just had you in awe, very very cool part of the trip!! I'll definitely post the pictures from it when I get a hold of my mom's camera.

My brother's team ended up doing really well. They made it to the 3rd round of the tournament placing around 20-30 out of 100 teams across the country...BOOM! My bro even hit a home run in one of the games, we were beyond excited for him after he hit the top of the fence a couple days before.

Anyway, that was the bulk of the trip, story of being a Hardman=baseball games. But I wouldn't have it any other way, I love it. We went shopping quite a bit and just hung out and had a blast with the other families. Soo much fun and the best part was it was relaxing, no planning needed. Just chill and baseball, what more could you ask for.

Next Part of the trip was my favorite part, I'll try to post that asap :)
