1st "game"

All chasing the ball!
Snack and pep talk after the game.
Ricky got the game ball.
Carter had his first baseball game last night. Actually it should have been the second game but opening day was rained out! Most of our practices were rained or snowed out too! So last night in about 40 something temps was Carter first "game." A game for this league isn't much of a game . . . everyone bats, everyone runs the bases, no one gets out, and they don't keep score! Yesterday the sun was in their eyes at bat so they batted from 2nd base! What a way to confuse them! It is quite humorous watching them. No one stays in their "position" so when the ball gets hit all 7 of them run and tackle each other for the ball! This is t-ball but they get 6 pitches from the coach first and then if they can't hit those they get the tee. Carter was able to hit off the pitches. He can not hit off a tee. All he does is hit the tee when he tries! It should be a fun season or at least a funny one!

BASEBALL! So much fun, can't wait til Dax is big enough - although I've heard about the practice schedules being an all week affair for 5-6 year olds. Gotta say I'm nervous about that...
