Allie's First T-Ball Game

After four practices and two games postponed by rain, the Sharks 2009 campaign finally kicked off last Monday evening. We started in the field and on the very first ball hit we got an out! The kids did a great job and seemed to have a general grasp of what they were doing. Everybody got to hit and score a run and they did a pretty good job of staying in their positions in the field. (We've been practicing staying put unless the ball is hit near you rather than the entire team chasing and dog-piling for every ball). This is our very first sport of any sort so Sherrie and I have been curious to see how Allie would react. For the most part she did very well and had a lot of fun, although her attention span (like most of the other kids as well) didn't last all three innings. After the game the kids got Capri Suns and snacks, which of course, is the real reason you play t-ball. Oh, and by the way, the Sharks are Allie Anderson, Peyton Bottoms, Avah Spencer, Caleb Kennedy, Cooper Spencer, Preston Jones, Christopher Lopez, Nyles Moreland, Preston Smith, and Patton Harris. The team is coached by yours truly and Kris Jones.

Did she like her first t-ball game? That face says 'yes'.
