T-Ball time

This year we decided to sign our boys up to play city league t-ball.  We thought they would really enjoy being on the same team so we put them together this year.  Even though Keaton is more advanced than Andrew right now in the game they still enjoy playing.  When they had their first practice they set up the t-ball stand and Keaton was up to bat he said " I don't need the stand, you can just pitch it to me." I knew that he was probably ready for coach pitch but we decided that we couldn't really deal with two different practices and two different games to be to so we put them together this  year. Next year they will be on different teams for sure.

They practice during the hotest time of the day.  Every Monday afternoon at 4 p.m.. Lance has been really generous to take work off so he can take them because it is just too much for me to sit in the heat and watch them practice. Plus it is good quality father and son time.  Games are every Tuesday evening around 6 p.m. and that is also a very hot time of the day but they don't care, they are kids. We just make sure they are drenched in water so they stay cool enough to play.

Keaton is a great player, very serious and runs way too fast to get to get to all the bases. It is quite cute to watch him.  As for Andrew, well he is always staring off and thinking of something else, probably food is my guess.  He is getting better and better and enjoying it too.
Their team name is the Cheetahs. The coach let them pick what they wanted to be called.  They have become pretty good friends with all the little kiddos on the team.  This is just the beginning I believe to summer games.
