Play Ball

Tonight was the first official T-ball game.  The kids started off with a warm up of catch.  Nice throw Olivia!  Great form Emma.   

 Quick team strategy meeting with the coaches.  Look at all of those kids...there are 13 total on the team.  Marc is doing really well with 13 four and five year olds.  It's tough at times, but I'm really impressed with his patience :-)

 Our team was up to bat first.  Olivia was the first one up.  She hit the ball right away...look at that, her eyes never left the tee.  Nice hit Olivia!

 Can you tell who the youngest player on our team is?  This was a normal site.  Marcus didn't know what to do with himself.  He kept our team and the other team entertained.  When he was on second base after batting I caught him doing high fives and chatting away with a kid from the opposite team.  I don't think this kid is going to be a wall flower.

 Emma's up to bat.  Nice hit!  We've got some pretty strong hitters on our team and our girls are among the best of them!

 Here's Marcus in the outfield trying really hard to pay attention.

 Emma demonstrating "ready position".  She's a natural!  This girl knows how to follow directions.

 Way to hit the ball Marcus!  What a slugger!

 Here are the only 3 girls on the team...Olivia, Kaydin and Emma.  These three stick together pretty tight.

 Quick shot of our three.  Thanks for cooperating with me guys :-)

Our team is very aggressive.  When the other team hit the ball, every one of our players went running for it.  Marc said it's hard to know what to do.  He loves the hustle and aggressiveness, but doesn't want anyone to get hurt.  They all did great!

Go Marcus Go!  It was a ton of fun.  We've got 9 more games left...we have 2 a week.  This is a great group of kids...should be a great season!
