First Baseball Game






(Here are a few pics before the game at home. I will take action shots on Saturday as it should be a beautiful day.)

Time for the first game... boys are excited, ready to go... and it starts raining! We head to the fields anyway and they decide to play.

Joey was the first up to bat... swing, smack... Joey pauses then, proceeds to run and can you believe that the little first baseman caught the ball and got him out. Too bad, but a nice hit. Finally, Stefan is up to bat... lots of swings (he's still not very comfortable with the bat), they put out the "t" and he smacks it down the middle and makes it to first... he eventually made it all around the bases.

Time to field... Joey is in center field (again... usually no action there) and Stefan is put at short stop... he proudly runs to the pitcher mound. I am chuckling inside because I know that Stefan doesn't have any idea where short stop is. Finally, the coaches get him into place... he also didn't see any action. The sky then opened up and they called the game... Thank you!

The boys had a great time. They were very nice to each other in the car... Thank you!

Yeah! Benji's first game is Monday night. I am kind of hoping it rains - but the more games we can get to before the baby comes, the better.

I'm laughing at your post below - if that was me....I'd have been the one puking on the floor! (can't handle the dog and cat messes right now).
