Calista is old enough to play tee ball! Wade has always loved baseball and it has been his dream to coach a team and he was soooo excited for that dream to come true. He was a great coach and he loved every minute. Their team was the Blueberries.
It does take a lot of patience to teach four and five year olds how to play baseball, how to properly hold the bat, how to swing the bat level, and not just chop at the ball.
Calista was just so cute with her pink bat and pink helmet!
She smacked that ball, and
forgot she was supposed to run to first base! A couple of the kids had played last year and knew the basics, but for most of them, this was their first time playing and it was just so much fun to watch them. Sometimes they would run so fast to first base and sometimes they would just stroll like they were on a leisurely walk.
Made it to first base!
They don't keep track of outs, everyone gets to bat during the inning, and they play for an hour.
Being in the outfield isn't as much fun as batting and the kids would look around at everything except the ball. The goal is for the kids to throw the ball to first base no matter where the hit goes.
Calista loves her pink helmet and today she insisted on wearing it even when she was out in the field.
End of the game congratulations and good game hand swipes. It was a fun season and just as the kids were starting to get the hang of it, it was over! I loved watching Wade coach and watching Calista learn.
