A Tale of Two T-ball Seasons
This has been a busy Spring at our house. In addition to all of the end-of-school-year craziness, we have also been attending t-ball practice and games for the last several weeks. The good news is that Owen and Olivia were in the same age division, and therefore able to play on the same team this year. That helped cut down on the amount of time spent at practice and games. Their team, the Diamondbacks, had a great season. Of course, there are no winners or losers in t-ball, so it was all about having fun, learning the basics of the game, and showing good sportsmanship. Having played last year, Olivia was the more seasoned player of the two. She was a real go-getter. She hustled after the ball every time that it was hit, and she got it a lot of the time. When it was her turn to bat, she hit the ball well and ran the bases like a pro. Owen on the other hand- let's just be glad that he made it through the season. He did like to bat and run the bases, but he was not a fan of playing outfield. He tended to do things like sit down on the field, pull grass out of the ground, stare off into space, etc... One time the ball came right to him- and he just looked at it. Olivia did things like that last year, so maybe he'll be more into it when he's a little older. Regardless of their performance, both kids received a plaques for participating. Here are some pictures taken this season.
