Summer T-ball

Back in June.....

We signed up the boys to play t-ball. At first (before they began to play) they were really excited and said that they really really really wanted to play! So I signed them up.....

Well I should have known....they hated it! I'm not sure if it were a little cooler if they would have enjoyed it more or just the fact that it was a more "slower" game but they were not big fans and by the second set of games we were dragging them out there and making them play. Hopefully trying to instill the "you started it, so now you finish it" attitude.

Nathan and Kimball were on the same t-ball team which was nice and Brandon was on an adaptive t-ball team that ranged from different ages from 6 to 60.

 We practiced the night before with catching and Brandon did really well for his first time playing, but it turns out...that was a more "advanced" skill and so he never improved during the season.....

 He did have a tendency to sit down in the outfield and wait....

 On this particular game with Kimball and Nathan, while waiting for it to start, Nathan fell asleep! It took him a little bit to wake up and get more into the game.

 Both boys didn't see the need to actually run to the base or between the bases. Kimball's coach had to pretend to be the tickle monster to get him to go, while Nathan did a slow jog.

 Dad was a big help during the season because he was there to help in the outfield to help Nathan and Kimball stay on task and help them not sit down.

Brandon's games were always before the other two's so he was usually bored during their game and so brought paper and pen to make some sort of list while his brothers played.

Will we play t-ball again next year? Well we certainly have the mits to play, but no I don't think we will unless they convince me that it is something they REALLY want to do!
