Pre-Vacation

Well, getting ready for the annual trip upstate so Mom, Dad, and the three boys can get a little closer. What do we have planned:

- A day trip to Bethel, CT to hang out with the Sage-Robison's for BBQ and Pool
- Up to Andes, NY for a couple of days to hang out at the in laws weekend house
- A quick trip to Lake George to Story Town aka The Great Escape ( a boyhood tradition of mine, which is being passed down to the next generation)
- On the way back to Andes a quick trip to Albany to visit Great Grandma Betty and some Orchard Pizza
- Clam bake at the Andes Hotel
- On the way back a stop at the Dutchess County Fair with the Chang's

An adventure awaits us...

Single A by the Ocean @ConeyIsland

The family cut short their day at the beach for an evening out in Coney Island-- Rides, Nathan's, and commencing with a Cyclones game against the Oneonta Tigers.

Number Three Son finally hit the golden "height" of riding by himself. As the Jaju would say-- "He is quite chuffed with himself."

In the wake of Tony Benarzard gettin the axe the Met's organization is taking an unusual approach to scouting and player development. They are now starting at the T-ball level. Unfortunately we didn't come away with any contracts or signing bonuses.
