T-ball!

Well t-ball was quite the adventure! It was very time consuming but Gabe loved it so it was worth it. Gabe really enjoyed the experience as a whole but he says that his favorite part was hitting the ball. He didn't like being in the outfield but as you can see below he found a way to entertain himself. Here is Gabe trying for the first time to hit a, "coach-pitched" ball...he came close!








He had much better luck using the "T".



















Look how handsome and focused he looks!
(This was his very first game, and his very first experience in the outfield)













In contrast, this is his last game. He loved the dirt! There were a couple of times when someone would hit the ball right to Gabe, he would contemplate dropping his mitt full of dirt, then most of the time decide against it and let the ball roll on by. It was funny! I think that next year he is going to archeology camp at the museum of natural history.






Here Kalli is on first base. She did a great job, she really is a natural on the field! I love this picture because off to the side you can see the 1st base coach hugging what I am guessing is his daughter, while Kalli is instructing his player to run on to second. Of course in T-ball there is no outs or score-keeping, otherwise she would have him our in a second. Kalli we love you!




The best part of all to Gabe was getting the trophy after his last game. The night he got it he kept saying, "It's my first trophy" because of course it is the natural progression in life to get trophies after anything organized. He shows it off to everyone that comes to our house. We are proud of him!
