Go Braves!

It's that time again - time for BASEBALL! Drew is so excited! This season we have changed parks and we are now playing at Boundary Waters. We are on the Braves (a.k.a. Blue Team) - in Fall Ball they really don't have team names they go by colors but Drew doesn't know that so Braves it is! Go Braves!!! Drew is loving it and is doing so good. We are so proud of him. They practice one day a week for about an hour and a half. They practice hitting, running the bases the correct way (starting with first base!), catching the ball, etc... The practices have been very organized which is really good. Fall Ball is not quite as popular as Spring Ball because there are so many sports and activities going on in the Fall so there is only one team therefore they don't have any other teams to play - they will just be playing themselves every Saturday. The boys don't really get it so they are fine with that. I really wish they had some other teams to play but it is actually working out pretty good. They divide the team in half and they just play each other. This makes the innings go A LOT faster and they don't get bored out in the field quite as fast because they are not out there as long. It also gives them the chance to get to hit more often and of course I think that is their favorite part. Drew is doing much, much better this season and I think it has a lot to do with his glasses. He can now finally see the ball to hit it and catch it! Too funny - poor kid! His cousin, Matthew, is on his team which he really loves. It is so cute to see them get to play together. They love each other so much and how often do you get to be on the same team as your cousin. They are really lucky! Blakely - well she is dealing with ball season. She gets a little bored at practice but she always brings her notebook along to write in. She likes the games a little more because it is more fast paced and she loves cheering on her brother and cousin Matthew. She is so proud of them. They have their own personal cheerleader! Go Braves!
