We went to Dick's a couple of nights before their first Saturday clinic and loaded up on a t-stand, bats, balls, and gloves (I took a few pics with my iphone). The kids tried on the helmets immediately. Thank goodness, because as soon as Griffin picked up a (heavy) bat, he clocked Noah on the head with it (yikes).
Love the pitchers-in-training. :)
When we were checking out, the saleswomen asked Miles who was going to be playing t-ball. Miles told her that he and Noah would be. Griffin started yelling emphatically, "no! I play t-ball! I play t-ball!" Glad this kid is almost 3. He's ready to hit the field!
On Friday afternoon we took our new equipment for a swing. I wanted to be sure the kids had at least some idea of what to do with the heavier ball/bat before the big day. Go Miles!
These two pictures crack me up. Literally the first time Mike pitched the ball to Noah, Noah nailed it right back to him. Took us all by surprise.
On Saturday morning, Mike and Miles took off for the field (more on Noah's whereabouts later). From the sounds of it, Miles really liked it. Mike said Miles raised his hand/answered questions the coach asked (a huge sign for Miles that he felt comfortable and confident) and had fun participating in the drills. Can't wait to see him and Noah next time!

Meg did t-ball and Drew starts next week! He clobbers the ball so it should be very, very interesting! And Meg is in her 3rd year of softball and is turning into a good player. Poor girls have to wait and wait for their turns!
miles did great--mike was running around everywhere getting his hits off the tee. ella and jack LOVED the clinic, too. this is perfect, so low key. we missed noah and look forward to seeing him saturday!
LOVE these pictures. definitely laughed out loud when griffin hit noah in the head with his bat and when Noah nailed the ball right back at Mike. Hilarious. Maybe Noah is not as uncoordinated as we thought?? The boys have good form! Can't wait to see more of t-ball!
