Let's Play Ball!

The team lining up to congratulate the other team at the end of the game.
Running for home.
Watching the game.
Set and ready!

Landon's first tee ball game of the season was this Saturday. Amidst drizzle and dark clouds, 20 4-year-olds descended on the field to play some ball. Landon plays for the Detroit Tigers, along with his best little buddy, David. The kiddos are so cute to watch! When it's their turn to hit, they don't always run to first base; sometimes they run after their ball, or just randomly around the field. When the team is fielding, either every kid runs to the ball and a fight ensues, or everybody just watches the ball roll away without moving! Geoff is helping the coach out, which is a good thing, because those kiddos need HELP! But overall, they did a great job for their first match up, and started to get the swing of it after their second game. Landon hit the ball on the first swing every time he is was up to bat, and ran the right direction! He also stopped a ball while in the field, and with a little coaching, threw it to first base. He said he liked it, but was tired afterwards. Every Saturday morning until the middle of June, you'll find our family at the ball field!
