Caden has moved up to Rookie League Baseball, the next age group up from T-ball which he played last year. It is coach pitched, no score everyone hits league, basically exactly the same as t-ball except without the tee. Lots of instruction, the kids are still learning what to do when, but you can see it sinking in a lot faster than last year! So far we've had two rain-outs including opening day! Here I have a few photos from his first game which was in the rain, I literally had my camera wrapped in a plastic bag! His weekday games are at 6:30, so even on nice days it is getting dark by the end.
The first half of the "game" are drills: throwing and catching, pop-flies, grounders and every one's favorite... hitting!
What a good boy waving to his Mom! Wait! He's supposed to be paying attention!
His first run of the season always looks like this.. stiff legs and a goofy grin watching us watch him. He soon gets over his shyness though and runs like a normal boy :)
Cora wanted her own picture so she modeled her surprise face
One of Caden's favorite things to do is hang out on the fence in the dugout
Chillin'
They end the game with a base relay, one team on home the other on second. Each team has to get all their players around to declare the winner. Probably the kids favorite part of the night only second to getting their snacks at the end of the game!
So we're ball park people for several weeks of the spring.. stay tuned for more pics once we get a sunny day!
