A taste of baseball

This summer was the first time we've signed the boys up for baseball. I mentioned it a few posts ago how pointless T-ball is. So pointless, apparently, even that subconscious part of my brain that usually reminds me to take the camera to events so we can get some pictures for "documentation purposes" found it less than important. Here, instead of posting pictures, I'll just describe what they would have looked like...

Canon standing right on 3rd base with his glove on his head as he spins in circles... ideally he would have been paying attention to the fact that someone was batting and his team was planning on throwing it to him soon!

Canon hitting the ball and casually sauntering over to first base... he never actually skipped to first base, but he might as well have!

Canon chasing down one of the 2-3 runners that will eventually need to touch home plate after the last batter hits his mandatory grand slam.

Last one... the ADORABLE smile on Canon's face as he walks away with his Capri Sun and treat at the end of a fun game. Okay, okay... I guess T-ball isn't COMPLETELY pointless!


At least we got a couple pictures of Andy playing with his team this summer. He was in coach pitch and with a little help from Paul, he wasn't too bad! Still had some focusing issues, but nothing like Canon's team!

He also enjoyed his time playing baseball, but it didn't spark any sort of passion, unfortunately. We're still hoping something BESIDES video games and Cartoon Network will ignite something within our boys! Guess we'll have to keep looking!

Don't lose hope...just keep up the baseball...you kids will learn to love it. It was one of the most fun things that we did a kids. I am all about it.

BTW: I think t-ball is pointless too...but it can be funny to watch if you are looking for silly kids...not a baseball game.
