Today was a good one! We did the full performance at Mohawk Reformed Church this morning. The kids were awesome, and they were a very appreciative audience. The pastor and his wife have four daughters who were tremendous hosts, and kept us thoroughly entertained. They have a pet hedgehog that won the hearts of most of the girls when they brought it to the church late last night. The breakfast they gave us was amazing also. We’re always happiest when you feed us well.
We went to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown today. I recommend it if you have the opportunity. If you’re a baseball fan you can spend hours there. Even if you’re not, it’s still a lot of fun exploring the history of baseball as it’s wrapped around American history in general.
It was cold and wet so our outdoor performance at Lakefront park became an indoor performance at Christ Church, a beautiful little Episcopal church within sight of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. James Fenimore Cooper is buried there. Their sanctuary is in the traditional style, and the acoustics are amazing! Kim decided to have only Jan accompany the choir, so Ed, Terry and I got to just listen. The bus drivers stayed to listen as well. We had a nice crowd, including one couple that were at the church this morning and drove down to Cooperstown to hear us again!
Tonight we’re in the Hampton Inn in Oneonta. All the boy’s rooms were pretty quiet when I checked them. I think we’ll probably all sleep well tonight. We get to sleep in tomorrow; the drive up to Fairport is only about three hours.
