Play Ball!

Baseball has started and this year both Jacob and Ben are playing. Jacob has moved up to the minors division. This is the first time that the kids will be pitching. Jacob's first practice was yesterday. I noticed right away that the kid's skill level has increased. Many kids can throw the ball pretty hard. (I know that I would not be able to catch it! And yes, I also throw like a girl.)

Benny is playing t-ball. He had his first practice this morning. Benny did great and had a good time. George was joking that we have not done right by him and need to show him some of the fundamentals. Benny did hit for power though and kept telling his coaches that he "wanted to hit a home run!".
