Summer Utah Trip: T-Ball

My two older brother's Scott and Chad coach their son's in T-ball and they invited Aaron to come and play for the last game of the season. I had the best laugh watching him play. I've taken him to the park to play wiffle ball, but that's the extent of his baseball experience. I come from a family who eat, drink, and sleep baseball. In the city where I grew up, if you don't play, or at the very least watch baseball, it could probably be compared to never visiting the ocean when you live across the street. Baseball is a big deal in that city. Anyway, he had a great time, but I guess we better brush up on his skills if he ever wants to play with the big dogs again (a.k.a. Boston and Kaden).

Boston was great to show Aaron how he should stand in the outfield and Chad helped him swing the bat to hit the ball off the tee. He needs a little more coaching to figure out that you run to the base after hitting the ball, rather than watching it, that you run to the next base when the next batter hits the ball, and that the way to second base is not through the pitcher's mound. Ohhh, it was a fun night!

I loved seeing the dad's that my brother's are. They are so cute and patient with those little boys. It was great to watch. I loved watching the game with my family. It reminded me of days past spending time at the ballpark and playing softball. Great summer memories! I'm determined to take Aaron to a Padres game to show him what baseball looks like. I think the highlight for him could very well have been the Capri Sun and Zinger the snack mom handed him after the game. :)
