Julia plays T-ball

So I asked Julia what sport she wanted to play this summer, soccer or Tball and she excitedly said tball. So Tball it is! While in Disney World we missed her first couple of games but today we were finally able to go and see her play. She gets really excited to get her uniform on. She even wore it to school this week.

While we were in Disney World gma Mott picked up her shirt and texted me a picture and she got jersey number 11, which was the number I wore all through high school. I thought that was pretty cool! Starting off right :)

Anyway......today we got ready and headed off to her game. We managed to stay dry....it was dark and cloudy all around us but the sun was shining on us for her game. So they warm up and then they either take the field or bat. She was the visiting team so they got to bat first. Everybody gets to hit and they don't count outs or runs. Julia did a great job hitting today and ran really fast around the bases. She even tried once to hit the ball without the tee and she almost hit it.....she was a tad early each time but had a good swing.

 No tee....swinging a little early :)

Once they each get to bat they go take the field. They all line up around the base path and wait for the batter to hit the ball. If they are lucky it gets past the pitcher and then its a free for all. Every kid tries to got after the ball no matter where it was hit and then they manage to throw it over to first. We told Julia the next time they go out in the field to go stand at the pitcher position. So she and a team mate got to play and they got most of the balls for that inning. Julia did a great job stopping the ball and then throwing it over to first base.

It was fun to watch and cheer her on. She did a great job today and it should be a fun season for her! WAY TO GO JULIA!
