{baseball season 1}

Jack and Henry were able to play baseball for the first time this year.  They only have soccer once a year in the fall, which is the boys' favorite, but baseball was fun option for the spring.  It turned out to be quite the family activity, because we spent every Friday night for almost two months at the baseball field--watching them play, eating a picnic dinner, and playing at the park. We are going to miss it!

They both did well, and learned a lot.  Henry sometimes had a hard time being still in the field, and he worked on not kicking the dirt or playing with rocks as an outfielder. He did hit well, and liked being up to bat. Jack learned to run really fast to the base without stopping. He really loves to catch the ball. They loved their mitts, playing catch, and going to their games. Oh, and the snacks.  :)

Overall, it was a great season, and even though it made for a very busy spring, both boys loved it.  That's a success in my book!  I'm proud of them both, and their hard work!  Way to go, boys!

We often went for ice cream after the game.  There's a little walk-up ice cream stand on the corner just about a half mile from our house, and we all love it.  It's such a popular spot, especially on game nights--which there are a lot of in this town--but we never mind the wait.  So yummy!!
