Kids Enjoy America's Pastime




We were lucky enough to get in another full week of baseball. Tuesday we had team pictures taken, so that was exciting for the kids. Lily had one of her best hits ever in the game, driving it on the fly over the heads of the infielders. She hit that one right handed, so she's been hitting that way ever since. I try to get both of them to hit from each side during the game. Trevor had two solid hits as well. In the field, they both made some good plays and throws to first. Lily played first base in the second inning, and did a really good job of catching the ball and getting in front of it. Trevor made a really nice scoop in the inning also.
On Thursday, we only had five show up, so we batted each player four times in stead of two. Trevor was the last batter in the first inning, so got a 'home run' in the game. It seemed like most of the kids were having trouble hitting today, probably just excited about the 4th being a day away and hard to concentrate. Trevor played first base in the second inning and had to be reminded EVERY play that the ball was being thrown to him. He didn't do a bad job, though. Lily had a headache tonight, too, which may explain her trouble at the plate and she sat out a bit in the field. Getting ready for the fireworks, though, and we hope the whole team has a safe and fun Independence Day.
