This summer Logan and Ali got their first taste of team sports: T-Ball. Some friends in a neighborhood next to ours told us about this very low-key league some of the parents set up every summer. Low-key sounded great to us, so we signed up. They have 13 kids on their team, which is really too many. It takes too long for their turn at whatever they're doing, and when they're waiting they loose interest fast and tell me they are tired, thirsty, or done. But when it is their turn, they love it. Here is Logan actually running to field the ball:
And here is the priceless grin when he was actually the one to get to it first:
Ali running for the first time that game--over to me, to get a drink of water:
Logan attacking the ball. He broke the tee with his great, though misplaced, swing. It took them about 10 minutes to fix it...:
Ali was a little more careful about it:
Fielding?
Apparently the run to base was exhausting:
Eli would love to be in on the action and is happy to pick up any discarded balls, gloves, bats, or hats.
I can't decide if they like it or not. They're always so excited to go, but then spend a lot of time there saying they want to go home. But there sure have been some cute moments that have made it all worth it, to me at least.
