Ben's T-Ball

Ben played Tball this summer!

He's a cute little ball player. When he's up to bat, he gives a good swing and hits the ball off the tee. Then he takes his helmet off and drops it on the dirt carelessly and then he books it to first base, being sure to overrun the actual base. :) When he's out in the field he hustles after every ball, and I mean every ball. Regardless of where it's headed, he'll chase after it. I love that!
Still, it can get a little slow, so we saw plenty of this...
And this...
So funny!
The rules are pretty simple in Tball. You hit the ball and run to first. Only one base per batter. The last batter runs around all the bases and brings everyone home. On defense, if you get the ball, you throw it in to the coach, who puts it on the tee for the next batter. As simple as it comes. :)
It's so funny watching Benjamin out there. He's a good sport about it. Getting a treat and drink at the end is definitely a highlight of each game! :)
