Play Ball!

This past Saturday was Opening Day for both Brandon's baseball league and Lindsay's softball league. Jeff and I had to split up and take each kid to their respective parades.

On Saturday Lindsay also had a double header (they won both games). By the second game Lindsay had pretty much figured out the flow of the game and was having fun. After she spent one inning as pitcher, she came back to the dugout and said, "I don't want to play any other base than pitcher!" She liked being in on all the action (typical Lindsay!).

Honestly, I think half the battle in her league is to make sure your coach can pitch to the girls. Our coach was very experienced and lobbed the ball over the plate every time. The coaches on the opposing teams weren't as consistent and their girls had a hard time getting a hit.

Brandon's team played a mini-tournament game on Friday night and lost 7-1. But we won't dwell on that. Hopefully they will improve as the season wears on.

Here are some pictures from opening day. (Brandon lost another tooth on Friday at school, so now he just has the big front two teeth.)
