PLAY BALL!
So, I have some really cute cousins who are right at that age of starting to play sports and while I can't post a lot of pictures of them (they aren't my kids and my blog isn't blocked) I thought it'd be fun to post a couple and hope their mom doesn't kill me :)
So Broc is his name, he is almost 5 and playing T-ball. He loves it but I wonder sometimes if his younger brother, Britton, loves it more. Broc is a really cool kid who loves to pound the ball as far as he can and just like all the other kids when their in the field will run after the ball no matter where it was hit to.
Yep, he's a lefty, just like his dad... They all look so professional and grown up with their pants tucked into their socks.
Running the bases after hitting a 'homerun'
And of course who can forget the BEST part of little league sports... the SNACKS!!!

One last tid-bit of information, these cute kids' father is the coach for the team and I thought this picture was just awesome for telling a story... DeWy is like 7'11"... I MIGHT be exagerating, but he's at least 6'8" so to these kids he might as well be 8'4" or whatever I said earlier. DeWy could be sitting and the kids on their toes and he'd still be taller than most of them.

I overheard some mom's talking once who weren't really close enough to see just how tall he was but one of them commented on how cute those kids were. The other said something to the extent of how little they all are; not even coming up to that guy's waist. That 'guy' was DeWy. I wanted to turn to them and merely say, nope, he's just that tall and look at him as he lines this next batter up!

Britton, the younger of the two wants so badly to play baseball too; after every game he goes running out to the diamond yelling: my turn! He has a pretty nice swing already and can pretty much kill the ball, now if only he could figure out if he's going to bat right or left handed... Ah well, more money if you are a switch-hitter.

The poor guy got tired of running AROUND the fence to get balls he tried just stuffing them through. Ah, what a cute little guy.

Caption for this picture is either, "Why did I get stuck with this thing" or "Muwahaha, it's mine, all mine!" He really just wants to help...

Where in the World is Sara D. Ray? Well, now you know.
