The Green Grasshoppers!

Last night was the girls first t-ball game. We weren't going to do t-ball this year because it was $100 a kid (yikes!) and Macy really didn't like it last year. One of Bobby's firefighters has 4 kids, and he for sure couldn't afford $400 for t-ball. So he developed a new t-ball league that only costs $5. I figured that was something we could handle. :) It blossomed to 250 kids, which he was not expecting.

The girls are on a team together, along with 3 of Macy's best friends: Jessica, Paige and Kaylee. Macy's so shy that she wouldn't have gone out on the field if those girls weren't with her. There are 16 kids on their team.

The deal with this league is it is extremely uncompetitive--every kid gets to bat, there are no outs, so they basically hit the ball and run the bases.

Kaylin was cute--she grinned ear-to-ear the whole time she was at bat, and then didn't want to stop at first base but kept going. Then when the other team was at bat, she was sitting on her ball glove. Then she was putting it on her head and turning around in a circle. At one point Bobby picked her up under his arm and carried her to the back of the field.

Macy was very serious--hit the ball hard, ran the bases hard, and worked hard to get the ball when the other team was at bat.

For $10 total, it will be worth it. They have 8 games total.
