T-Ball

I have countless memories of playing all kinds of sports, but especially fast-pitch in the summer. In fact, the team I played for since I was 12, the LC Market Spinnerz, got together last year for a reunion. Here is a picture of all of us girls and our beloved coach, Bob Krause, who was also my best friend's dad. I love this man. The more I know about what it takes to be a parent and what it takes to be a coach, the more amazing this man becomes- he coached us every summer for 8 or 9 years- pitching just about every practice pitch as well, might I add.

Anyway, enough about me, this is really about Jack, and his first experience with baseball. In short, it was hilarious. So much funnier than soccer where everyone kind of runs around anyway,

baseball actually has more of an order to things, and when the kids are running the wrong way, fielding balls when they are supposed to be running the bases, and of course, just generally not paying attention at all- was priceless.

These pictures were taken by Aunt Denise, clearly the photographer in my family, when she was here visiting. Grandpa and Grandma Linda were also able to come to some games to form Jack's cheering section (and Henry's entertainment station). They even took us out to Arctic Circle afterwards! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

And now for the video. I spent way too much time on it, but I'm sure it doesn't show.
