T-ball Dad

Danny had his first T-ball game tonight. Chris is helping out by being a first base coach. I didn't realize how uninterested in soccer Danny was until T-ball started. He has so much fun.

This is all of the yellow team (Danny is the one with his head on the ground) chasing a ball while the blue team makes it to first base.
This is Danny's first "at bat". Chris is the guy in the black shirt standing at 1st base. An inning consists of every member of the batting team having a turn to bat. Every time the ball is hit, the kids advance to the next base. The only way to get out is if you throw your bat when you hit the ball. The fielding team has a child on all positions and the extra kids stand in the outfield. The goal is to get the fielders to field the ball and throw it to first base.And in case you were wondering- Chris gets very into it! Here he is trying to get the kids to advance a base. Sometimes the batter will go directly to second base, or maybe chase the ball they just hit. Mia sits on the sideline cheering for Daddy and Danny. We're having fun with it.
