T-Ball

Miles and Noah are in the midst of their first team sport experience -- T-BALL!  They are doing a clinic at one of our local YMCA's and are learning all aspects of the game (hitting, catching, throwing, running bases).  Its pretty basic, definitely a beginner level -- but you gotta start somewhere, right?

We have clinics every Saturday morning.  I LOVE being outside with the family, doing something active (well, at least the kids are doing something active :), first thing on Saturday morning.   I'm so excited that they really like it!

Here is a little video of them playing.  Miles and Noah are in red shirts and Ella and Jack are in yellow shirts.  I positioned still photos of them just before their video clips so you'd know who you are looking at.  :)  Take note of the way Noah hangs onto his batting helmet as he runs.  He sticks his fingers in the little holes on the sides to be sure that the hat doesn't fall off.  :)  Also, notice one of the dads in the green golf shirt, running around the field with a sense of urgency, hurrying the kids through the bases (I have a lot more clips of him doing this than are in this video).  He kills me.  :)

love the video. They look like they're doing great! I love how all the kids would hit the ball and just watch it for a few seconds before they started running. hilarious.
