Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Baseball
This spring we signed Alex up for a baseball team. Scott enjoyed playing baseball when he was young, so he was excited about having Alex try it out. There is a fantastic league here that is totally FREE. The sponsors cover all of the cost. Practically unheard of. We were especially happy about that fact.
I think Alex had a pretty good time with it this season. It was kind of a slow game for him. He has been playing soccer for so long that standing out in a field waiting for a ball to (never) come to him was not exactly his idea of a great time. But he made some great hits and learned a new sport and got better with each practice and game. We will see next year if he wants to play again or not.
Here are a couple of pictures from the end of season picnic.

Your kids are just getting so big and cute. Baseball is a slow game, my boys only want to be up to bat. We only signed up one season, but for free I would probably give it a few more tries.
