Spring tee ball

Bridger is a Turley through and through.  It comes out in different ways and this time, through sports. We have tried about 3 different activities to see what he would like.  This year, he was finally old enough to play baseball, well, tee ball to be exact.  And he LOVES it!


 Getting ready for his first practice.  He is also very excited about being 4!  Him and Livy can pick the number 4 out of any sign, label, story, ANYTHING!

I died laughing at his first game!  It was awesome to see the helmets on these little kids.  It reminded me of the movie "Space Balls".   No one knew where to run after they hit the ball and it was a wrestling match in the field every time a ball left the tee.

Just a few games in and they have a good grasp on the game.  No more dog piles, they all run to first base (no guarantee after first, though), and every great once in a while, someone catches the ball.

It's hard not to think of Chad when we embark on new adventures like this.  I know that he would be right there with Bridger, teaching him all the tricks of the trade.  Bridger is very encouraged to know that his daddy loved baseball and played when he was a little boy just like him.
