t-ball

Henry's playing t-ball this summer through the Blaine Park & Rec.  He has it on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.  He gets up everyday and asks, "do we get to do t-ball today?" just like he would ask about school during the year.  Sometimes when he's playing around the house, I'll hear him yell "foul ball" like he's up to bat!  He plays for the Stingers.  I think there are about 12 kiddos on his team.  The games consist of one team goes through the batting order, then the other team does the same, and that's it!  They're "getting the concept" quite a bit more each time, and this week they actually had time to play 2 innings!  He definitely gets an "A for effort" when he's there.  It doesn't matter what position he's playing in the field, he's going for that ball!  This week, he was playing 3rd base, and sprinted out to right field 3 times to go for the ball.  He cracks me up!   

Batter up.....

.....and he's off to 1st base.....

.....he's safe!  (Well, if we're getting technical, EVERYBODY is safe when coming into 1st).

This is the sprint back to the bench after "good-gaming and high-fiving" the other team.  Snack time!

Henry's buddy, and our neighbor, Blake is on his team.  They'll love this picture in 13 years when, who knows, maybe they'll be playing high school baseball together?  We'll see!
Go Stingers!
