Little Leaguer


Joy started her first season of Little League baseball this afternoon.


Coach John went over some important safety rules (note that most of the kids are paying close attention . . . to something else), . . .


. . . then the team practiced some basic skills like hitting the ball (it's a "coach pitch" team, but since Joy has never held a bat before they started her with a tee) . . .


. . . and some throwing and catching.  Here, Joy tosses the ball around with a couple teammates, one of whom is named Daniel (that should be easy for us to remember).


Daniel: "Hey, that's MY name!"


Anna doesn't really grasp the rules of the game (not that the big kids do, either), but the fact that a ball is involved is good enough for her.
