Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Ben played his first year of "real" baseball. By "real" I mean, the kids pitch and catch, 3 strikes you're out and the score's kept so that at the end of the game there's a winning AND a losing team. Before this year baseball has been pretty boring for Ben. He likes something with a little more action...

He found his sweet spot right behind home plate. Being catcher has everything that Ben lives for...lots of action, lots of pressure, lots of dirt, lots of opportunities to take players down!
He loved chasing runners trying to steal home back to third base, he even tagged a few of them out! It was fun to watch him play so hard and come home sweaty and dirty and excited about the next game. Good job Ben! PLAY BALL!!
Cousin Jack is up to bat and Ben's on third.

I love watching my boys play basketball. The only problem is I kinda get into to it a little too much :) Looks like Ben really enjoys it, that's awesome!

You are "The" man Ben! What fun to play with Jack too! Wish we had been with you to a game or two! We love and miss you!
Love,
