Plaaaaaay Ball!!!

I was very reluctant to become a soccer mom (0r, in our case, t-ball mom,) but overall our first season of t-ball was quite fun. The weather was great, and the kids were entertaining to watch. Darren was one of the younger kids on the team. He has kind of a funny, slow shuffle when he runs, and by the end of the season everyone was cheering louder for him than the kid batting as he ran the bases! He did get a lot faster by the end.




The highlight of the season : getting a "Golden Trophy" at the end!

For our end-of-the-year party, the team went to a Ft. Worth Cats Game. Each kid got to run out with a player and have his name called, then stand with the players for the national anthem. Darren was so proud of himself because he was able to run as fast as the player. ;)
The kids' favorite part of the game was getting to meet the "Big Kitty Cat". Claire was afraid he was going to bite her, but thought it was hilarious when she realized it was just a guy wearing a costume. Their other favorite part was finding a bunch of beads in the parking lot!
