Opening Day at the Ball Park

Yesterday we spent 6 hours at the ball park. All three boys had a game. Eli made his debut in t-ball. He was so excited. Finally he got to play instead of watching his brothers. He played very well. He hit the ball and he also caught a pop fly.
Eli and Joel were playing at the same time on different fields (right beside each other) so we would watch one for a while and then switch and watch the other. Twice they were both at bat at the same time. Then we had a two hour wait until Jacob's game. It was a nice day to be outside and we just enjoyed sitting around and watching the kids.



Eli played first base, pitcher and catcher. He was very intense. (they don't keep score in t-ball and you can only run one base no matter how hard you hit the ball, but Eli is sure his team won)







Here is our Big Leaguer with his well-deserved snack after the game.

Over to Joel's game. He had 2 doubles and a single. He made some good plays at the pitcher position. His team won.

Here we have Uncle Jeff coaching first base. He is helping Kevin coach Joel's team this year and Aunt Stacie is keeping the book. It truly is a family affair.
Now we have Jacob's game. Here he is on first base. He went 3 for 3 and caught a fly ball and made some good plays at shortstop. His team lost 7-6, but it was a really good game. We will get them the next time!!

Jacob at bat. Doesn't he look like he's ready for anything they can throw at him.
All in all, at the end of the day, I think we can say that at Mary Lou Retton park yesterday, the Morris boys RULE!! (and Mamaw and Papaw better get some vitamins for this baseball season, because between the 3, I think there are about 60 games)
