T-Ball

(click on the pictures to view them larger)

This weekend was the start of t-ball season. This year we put Andrew in Little League in San Tan Valley. He was allowed a boundary exception since we live only 1/2 mile out of the boundary and where they play is closer to us than where Florence plays.
His team is the Kansas State Wildcats. Purple and white (although his shirt is black and purple). He is playing with his buddy Brysen so he's happy for that!
Saturday started with pictures and the opening ceremony/parade. Everyone was cute in the parade; waving their hats to the crowd!


Andrew's on the far right (under the speaker) - it's kind of dark...

Before their game, the team ran through their parade banner. Andrew's on the right again with the sideways hat (his daddy's son, I tell ya!).

They play 3 innings and each kid on each team hits during that inning. They don't keep score or keep track of outs, etc. Andrew had a decent first hit. He had a great hit his second time up. It would've been a home run if they would've let him run all the bases. He was very proud of himself for that (and so were we!).

He made it to first without getting out (well, we keep track of outs...).

When the next kid hit, he was off to second!

And here he is running home for the first time this season.

He played first base the first time out on the field. He did a great job at that position and really paid attention to where the ball was.
