Baseball stars

Baseball season started last weekend.

Charlotte has the same coach and is playing on the same team as she did the two previous years. The biggest change for her is that they no longer hit the ball from the tee. The coach pitches them the ball. She is finding this to be quite a challenge, but she did very well at her game. Each time Charlotte was at bat she got a hit, and each time she stayed on base long enough to score a run.


She was also quite a star at third base. Four or five times in a row, she grabbed the ball, ran to the base, and tagged it to get the runner out.



Alexander has enjoyed playing baseball for a few years, but this is his first experience on a team. They are still learning the details of the game, but he is enjoying hitting the ball off the tee, throwing, and catching.


He didn't see as much action at third base, but entertained himself a bit by dancing around when things were slow. Or maybe he just couldn't contain his excitement at playing his favorite game.

I'm impressed! Of course if I show this to the boys they'll want to be playing (and I just can't imagine another activity:)!
