Caden's Ball

Today was time for Caden's first ball practice.  Gone are our leisure Saturday mornings for a while:)  I failed to get a picture of Caden right before practice with him posed....I assure you his excitement wouldn't have been as evident as Blake's.  I think he was excited but he just doesn't show it.  Here he is just waiting for the ball to come his way (I think he was getting bored)...

They were all eager to find out what they were going to do next....

Practicing running to first base and actually touching the base...

Practicing throwing and catching the ball....

What they all really hoped to be able to do....bat!  Caden's team is a cross between machine pitch and T-ball.  They have a machine that pitches it slower but none of them were able to hit it with that so they ended up just giving everyone a chance to hit off the T.

I think he had fun. He did say it was a little boring but he would give it more time:)  Caden is an action packed, fast paced kind of guy:).  I would say the first practice was a success though. 

Blake had his second practice after Caden's. (of course Caden's wasn't totally done and they are at different fields so it does require both Jason and I driving...luckily there are only a few that totally overlap).  Blake was still pretty excited.  Today he got to bat!! I didn't get his face but I assure you he was grinning:)

I hope they stay this eager...I know they will get bored (they did a little bit today) after a month of practices.  It is fun to watch though and I am glad they have this opportunity!
