take me out to the ballgame!

Monday nights for the last few weeks have been spent at the ball field for us. Lauren is in t-ball...and loving it. She likes batting the best and can really wham the ball. It's almost embarassing how proud you get when you hear parents yelling at their 4 and 5 year olds to back up when Lauren gets up to bat! (It's pretty perplexing to me how much yelling at kids actually does happen at t-ball games...yikes!).

As you can see from the photo at below right, the games don't always have the full attention of the kids playing. Note: Lauren is on second base...facing first base (she did not run that way, however)....and the second baseman is facing left field, but wouldn't see the ball if it came to him anyway (see glove over face). Awesome!!!
