Baseball

We can mark another first for our family. Alex had his first baseball game on Sunday. Of course we were there watching. I remind this group occasionally that I am the one who taught him how to hit.

Well it was an entertaining and great game. (Some of these kids still look like toddlers, they are so small.) And with only two practices as a team, it was amazing.

Alex happened to miss the practice when it was explained to stop at first base. So consequently on Alex's first time at bat, he had an in-the-park home run. It was awesome. Even though he did pass up the runners on 2nd and 3rd, and leave them on the field.

It is so much fun to watch the little kids when they are first starting to learn to play. They don't know or care what the score is, they are just having fun. Really just PLAYING the game.

Way to go, Alex!

Also, good picture of the cranes & moonlight.

I am still laughing about Alex's home run.

I'm teaching Sebastian how to hit the ball out of the park. right now he's just determined to break a couple windows. No baseball little league of here though so doubt he's headed for the majors which is extremely disappointing for me.
