First Tee Ball Season

Austin played Tee Ball this spring!  He LOVED it!  Ben Hampton, his best buddy from school was on his team, The Sharks. He loved playing 1st base because that was where the action was.  The rules of this tee ball team was no outs, 12 batter per inning and each batter advances 1 base.  So, they could pretend to get a batter out, but couldn't really. Austin really improved his catching and hitting over the season.  He now loves to just toss the ball up and catch in his glove.  Or throw against the side of the house and catch in his glove.  When I would say " you have tee ball tomorrow" he would always say "a game or practice?".  They had Saturday games and practice on Sunday afternoons.  We would call it baseball and he would correct us "it's tee ball".  Just wait till next year...it's baseball when you are 5. :)  David was an assistant coach even had a couple of games where the head coach was out of town and he was coach.  He also enjoyed the snacks after games.  Some Saturdays he even got to go watch cousin Summer play softball too.  It was a great season for our little baseball, i mean, Tee Ball player!
