Baseball Team Pictures

It's usually chaos when it's time for team pictures.  This afternoon, it was a lot more organized.  Also, the boys must have been tired from practice a few hours earlier because they were not pushing and picking on each other like they usually do.  They lined up like the photographer asked and followed the rules.  She asked each boy to walk up and hold the bat like they were standing at home plate ready to hit the ball.  Collin did what she asked when it was his turn.  She asked him to smile and I could tell he was confused by this because he does not smile when he is at home plate ready to hit.  Why does he have to smile?  He figured out that she wanted to take his picture and this is what we got:

Here are the boys lined up waiting their turn.  It did not take that long to go through all of the boys.

Collin is third in line...not counting Tyler that is sitting on the ground

Next, we went outside to take the team picture.  The shorter boys were in front and the taller ones were in back.  It took a few tries for the boys to figure out that they needed to have one knee down and hold their hand on that knee.  I like how you can see the wrist bands on Collin's hand placed on his knee.  These were from Sky High and the animal farm we went to yesterday.  I wonder how long these will last?

Collin is on the front row, second from the end

Here is his serious look

Walking back to the car, Collin and William played and pushed each other around.  What 6 year old can just walk to the car without touching anything, being quiet and walk quickly?  Yep, not these boys.  They found out when they fell to the ground, they got cockle burs all over them....and this started the "fake" falling so that more stuck to their clothes.....and it took forever to get to the car.  Glad we were not in a hurry.
