T-ball

I signed Derek up for Tball this summer. He's really good at hitting the ball when you pitch it to him, so he's still getting used to having to hit off the Tee. I think this will be the last summer sport I sign the kids up for... it's way too hot! It may not be Phoenix hot, but its still too hot to sit out under the sun at 1pm for the games! He has a lot of fun though. They actually don't even keep score at the games... they play 3 innings and each kid gets to bat each inning and run the bases even if someone happens to actually catch the ball. It's kind of funny. Here are some pictures we took yesterday at the park. For some reason, when I stretch the pictures, they get blurry, but they're still cute!













Here's a video montage of his very first game....

Fun fun! I bet the coach was excited to get such a big kid on their team! Good job Derek!

You should have moved to Thatcher. We are smart enough to hold our T-ball games at night...on real grass. GREAT JOB DEREK! He plays like Tad did in T-ball...except Tad would slide at every base and jump up like he had just scored the winning run in the 7th game of the World Series.
