T-Ball (aka Tackle Football)

Logan started another year of T-ball last Thursday. It is always wild and crazy at the fields. They need about 4 times the amount of parking, or have half the teams play on other nights. They have 24 teams this year, and only two separate game times. CRAZY! Anyhow, Logan has been practicing and is doing well on his hitting. His first round up he had to use the T, but second time up he hit an awesome ground ball on the first pitch. I love watching the kids. The coach starts out putting them in all of the outfield positions. After about two hits, they are all just lined up in a football defense line about 10 feet from the hitter. They all want a piece of that ball. When the ball is hit it's like a big amoeba. They all run for it, tackle each other, reach and grab and fight to come up with the ball. Hilarious.

Logan so proud of getting the ball. Has the "ha ha" look on his face.

While in line waiting for his turn to bat, Logan likes to goof around with the other kids. They always pick grass and throw it at each other. At least it's not just my child that does it though.

Claire likes to go and watch the games to sit in the chair and just snack on chips and goof around. I should've signed her up to play, but of course didn't think about it in time!

I love to watch the games of the little kids. It's hilarious!! I love the memories I have of the cute things they do while playing. I love the pic of Logan running to 3rd. He looks like he is having the time of his life.
