T-Ball Time!!!

Barrett was finally old enough to play baseball! He was absolutely thrilled!! He played on a PeeWee T-Ball League, and it was so much fun! Barrett's team was the New York Mets. Close call- it could have been the dreaded and scurvy New York Yankees! Colby said that if that was the team Barrett had been assigned to, he would have had to throw a major "interfering-with-the-kids-just-having-fun" type of parent temper tantrum, and have Bear reassigned to another team. He was only joking.....I think!! :0)
We were in Disneyland for Barrett's team picture day, so this is the best we have. The coaches had the kids all line up on the pitcher's mound when the other team was up to bat, and then each kid got a chance to try and field the ball. So cute...a bunch of 3 and 4 year old kids running after the ball in a mass huddle!

Barrett ripping a ball along the third base line! He was so funny- every time he hit the ball, he would run after it and try to catch it! We tried to teach him that the other team fields the ball when he bats, but he just liked to chase the ball anyway!

YAY! Barrett made it safely to first base without losing his helmet! Honestly, I know these kids are only 3 and 4 years old, and that safety is the number one priority, but the helmets they make them wear are as big as they are!

He had so much fun playing, and it was the most adorable thing in the world to watch! I honestly think that PeeWee T-Ball just might be my new favorite sport in the whole entire world!
Oh so cute!
