T-Ball

We had t-ball the month of June and a make-up game the first week in July. These 4 and 5 year olds practiced every Monday and had games on Tuesday. Caden loved every minute of t-ball and was always ready to go to practice or a game and loved having his friends and family come and watch him! He is getting to be a pretty good hitter and is starting to catch and throw better--he is going to be like the rest of the family and be a big fan of baseball I think! Layne and our friend Bobby got to coach all of these wonderful kiddos and it was an experience that they will always remember--not always easy to keep the attention of a 4-5 year old when it is HOT outside, but I think they all learned some baseball skills and almost all of them know where 1st base is!

Brynn and Addison cheering the team on in their strollers!

Brynn and Jaxson entertaining themselves by covering the cooler with grass--oh to be 2 again!

Up to bat--Caden Parry (dad is in the background!)

He swings and hits!--dad is smiling :)

Caden runs to first base to get a high 5 from Coach Bobby.

Time to field--Caden is playing first base--I think he liked 1st base and pitcher the best as it had the most action!

Everyone loved his styling baseball socks!

Very proud of the metal he got the last game--he also has a wonderful stick that is blurry in the other hand--all boy this child is! We had to wear our medal to Yogurtini as it became our celebration spot after every game!

Silly picture is above and serious picture is below--we were so lucky to have several of our church friends and Southeast friends on our team--so made for some fun evenings!
I also got a kick out of the girls playing on the team--most of them started out in black shorts with their shirts, but by game 3--most girls had pink shorts on or at least pink and black shorts and at times some even wore little pink sport skirts--but they were out there playing--just had to style it up a bit!
Thanks to Bobby and Layne for their time and effort to coach the kiddos--I know our son loved it and grow in his knowledge of baseball!

Also a quick video of Caden hitting the ball!
