Play ball!

Saturday was Opening Day for River Park Baseball. This is Brandon's first year playing t-ball, and he's having the best time. Saturday was the Opening Day Parade through the neighborhood. All the teams were loaded up in the backs of trucks and trailers throwing candy to the crowds. I don't think Brandon stopped smiling for even a second. The parade was followed by team introductions and the first pitch of the season. We found out there are over 100 kids signed up for t-ball alone this year. Seeing all 6 teams sitting in the outfield during the introductions really hit home how many kids that is. After all the Opening Day activities, it was time to rush home for a quick lunch and back out to the park for team pictures. This was all before noon. Thank goodness we didn't have a game too. We were so exhausted, everyone napped that afternoon.

Sunday morning was Brandon's first game. He did pretty good. He got some decent hits off and ran the bases like he was supposed to. His catching needs a little work, but he tried really hard and that is all that matters. He never got frustrated like he did with soccer. The whole game was just plain fun for him. The free snowcones after the game sweeten the deal even more.

Deets and O discovered the pleasures of t-ball day: hanging out, running around like crazies, playing in the dirt and the snack shack...oh ya, and watching Brandon play t-ball.
