Emma, Owen and Claire have joined the Rangers tee-ball team (sponsored by D&H Drug Store, of course)! The rain finally stayed away and on Tuesday night they had their very first game. Emma actually had to sit this one out because she has a sinus infection and wasn't feeling up to it. Claire and Owen did a great job though! It is hard to believe they are playing tee-ball. It seems not so long ago that Brendan had his first tee-ball game. Of course, he knew nothing about baseball when he started, while the other three have the advantage of watching him play for the last few years. They at least knew how to run the bases and how to hit the ball. They seemed like pros!
Owen has an amazing swing. He is such an athletic kid. He is always wanting to practice at home. He has quite an arm and made a terrific throw from third base over to first. He had some great hits as well, hitting it to the grass (which if you have been to many tee-ball games is not very common amongst tee-ball hitters, at least in my experience!).
Owen rounding third...what a hit!
Claire also did a great job with hitting and even knew where to throw the ball when she stopped it (FIRST, Claire, FIRST!). It is so cute to see her stop the ball, then "pop up" and aim and throw. I am smiling just thinking about it. She is, not surprisingly, the littlest one out there, but she isn't afraid to get in there with the boys. She actually was the only girl playing on the team on Tuesday, since Emma was out sick. She sure didn't seem to mind!
Claire after scoring at home...how cute is she?
We would love to have you stop by a game sometime. You can't help but smile:-)
