Take me out to the ball game......

Take me out to the crowd! Skylar had his first game on Monday night! It was so much fun! He did really well. The boys have three tries to hit the ball the coach pitches if they don't succeed they get to hit it off a tee. Skylar whacked it a good one on the second pitch! He looks so cute in his uniform. He was assigned to second base this game and did a great job. This game was so much fun to watch! Every one gets a chance to hit and no one gets out. They don't even keep score. There was great sportsmanship on both teams. One little boy on the opposing team who was playing second helped the runner on his base by telling him it was time to run! He put his hand on his back and gently pushed while excitedly yelling "you get to run now!" I'm so glad Skylar has this opportunity! It's so funny to see the whole team run from where ever they are on the field to get the ball! It usually resulted in a pile up....and then one little hand would emerge triumphantly from somewhere near the bottom of the pile with the ball tightly clenched in his little hand....the excited little fellow flushed form the excitement then trots up to the coach and ceremoniously places it in his hand! It was LOL funny. Often times in the rush to get the ball the players on the field way lay the runner before he gets to first base..... not to tag him mind you but to jump on the ball. One little fellow hit the ball from the tee and then ran after it...he was so excited that he got the ball that it took a great deal of effort to get him to give it up and run! We are greatly looking forward to more games! Enjoy the pictures!
