Baseball and Fans

Collin had an audience during his Tball game yesterday.  Now that Grandma H has moved, she was there and will probably be at most of his games.  Linden and her daddy showed up and then Saige and her mommy came a little later.  We were all there cheering him on. 

The Lions were out in the field first.  Collin and Tyler shared the area near the pitcher's mound so they saw a lot of balls hit their way.  It really does not matter though.  When the ball is hit, EVERYONE runs for the ball.  At one point, Collin did get the ball and several kids piled on top of him.  For a moment, you would have thought they were playing football and not Tball.  Collin did get up and threw the ball to first.

When it was his turn to be up to bat, he missed with the first swing and then hit it the next time.  He does still take a moment to figure out what to do next, run to 1st base, before dropping the bat and taking off.  When he got to 1st base, Daddy was there because he was the 1st base coach this inning.  Daddy was explaining to Collin to run to 2nd when the ball was hit.  Collin looked at him and said "Go away.  I already know that."  Well, he told him.

It's a Hit!!!


After the game, the kids played on the playground before we head home and then went to dinner.  We asked Collin what he liked to do best.  He said hitting the ball and throwing it.  I did not think catching was his favorite....yet!
