Let's Play Ball!

Oscar had his first baseball game!

His team, the Nationals.

Oscar is in the center, 4th from the right. Notice he is wearing his XTratuff boots!

It had been raining so he put them on and we were half-way to the park when we realized we didn't have tennis shoes! He was adamant about NOT going back home to get them.

Oscar & his buddy Caleb were good sports and volunteered to play on the other team.

They didn't have enough players show up b/c they thought it had been rained out.

I love how quickly he got his pants dirty and could care less. He's a natural!

Batter Up!

The game is actually called Blastball, they hit off a T and run to the first base, which honks when they step on it. If an opposing player gets the ball and yells "Blast!" before they touch base they are out. There is no winning/loosing and every player gets to bat each inning.

Perfect for three & four year olds!

Coach gave everyone a baseball card when the game was over (it got rained out after 3 innings). We have a happy ball player, ready for his next game already! He will play games twice a week. There is also a nice playground at the park so Eleanor had a good time too.
