T-Ball!

Andrew at bat in the red helmet.

He made it on base with his first hit! Here he is on 3rd base.

Touching home base - run scored by Andrew!

Out in left field with his glove on his head. Not many balls get hit that far out.

At bat again, this time wearing a black helmet.

Running to 1st with Daddy coaching him on.

Game over - lining up to greet the other team.

Andrew had his first T-Ball game last week. He loves it, but it has been incredibly hot this month and we are struggling to enjoy the games in the heat! We signed up with the Maize Rec league only to find out after the fact that they play every MWF night for the month of June. To us that's a bit much for 5 year olds. We may not do it next year, but we are trying to hang in there for this month. Keith is helping as an assistant coach, and Jonathan, Hannah and I try to cheer from the sidelines. It's great comic relief! Most of these kids have never played and of course everyone wants to get the ball. The good news is that there is a 6-run rule for each inning, which is a good thing because they very rarely get 3 outs. Now if this 100 degree weather and wind would leave, we could enjoy the games a little more!
