Baseball Players

You know it is summer when the baseball mitts and bats start coming out.  The kids had a great time playing baseball this summer. They learned a lot and got better with each practice and game.

They especially liked playing catch with each other after dinner.  Charlotte thought she was as big as the others and liked playing ball too. Even though the bat was bigger than her, she loved hauling it around playing with everyone else.

Emily's softball team was the Hurricanes.

She played player pitch this year so one of the girls pitched during the game rather than the coach. She said that was harder but she still managed to get a few pretty good hits in during the season. She loved running the bases and also did well in the field.

Colby's team was the New York Yankees.

Colby loved baseball and recently told me that he was going to be a champion baseball player when he got older.

This year he played machine pitch baseball. This was a new experience because last year he just played T-ball. The pitches were fast but he was able to connect for a few good hits. By the end of the season, he was really getting the hang of baseball and was doing really well in the field too.

Logan played T-ball for the first time this year. His team was the Blue Claws.

Logan loved T-ball mostly because he got to be with all of his friends. He was really only there for the social aspect of the game. He made a lot of friends and had a good time.

He did learn a few things about baseball though like catching and throwing. He was so excited for every game and would wear his jersey all day on game days. 

All of the kids had a great time and cannot wait for next season to play again.
