Batter up!

Well, here it is - the first t-ball game of our lives! I have to say it far exceeded my expectations. It is excruciating (for a competitive person like myself) and hilarious. These kids are so cute. The first hit everyone just stood there and watched the ball. Now, three games into the season they are wrestling for possession.

Pre-game warm-up. Joe's the one in the camo. We don't have him pants yet.

Playing the field.
Batting tips from Coach Manny. He's great. Already coached his older boys all the way through high school. Now they are starting over with their surprise kid Peyton.
Whammo, first swing!

Everybody hits! Everybody scores! That's t-ball. Four innings or AN HOUR AND A HALF!! which ever comes first. By the third inning they are stealing each other's hat and chatting it up with the base runners. But the four innings of practice are good.
That stance must just come naturally. (Actually, I think he forgot to wear underwear. It happens sometimes.)
Good game!! You should come watch! It is great fun!

Great pictures. Is that field in your neighborhood? You need a Harbor sign out there next to the baby blanket banner.
