Hey, batter, batter, batter!

Brandon's favorite game to play in the pool is baseball. He got a Splash Bomb ball and bat as a party favor and we have been playing baseball in the pool ever since. He has really developed his skills and is consistently hitting the ball when it's pitched to him. Brandon had a buddy over for a playdate last week and we played baseball in the pool for 3 hours! Here are the rules:
1) There's no limit on pitches - you swing until you hit the ball
2) After you hit the ball, you must jump in and swim to the other side of the pool (1st base)
3) Since Mommy never wants to get her hair wet, it takes her too long to retrieve the ball and make it to the batter to tag them out (therefore, everyone is safe on 1st)
4) You must "steal" 2nd base while Mommy "isn't looking"
5) You must "steal" 3rd and home as well
6) Mommy must be a bad infielder
7) It's more fun when Daddy plays pitcher because he gets it in the strike zone more often than Mommy does
