Baseball Star

At least he's a star to me :)! Ethan had his first baseball game on Thursday night.  He was beaming the whole time.  He loved it!  It was so fun to watch. They play 3 innings where every player has a turn to bat.  There is no score keeping, but these kids don't care!  They each get 5 (if needed) pitches from the coach and if they don't hit any, they get to hit off the tee.  So it's kind of a hybrid coach pitch/tee-ball.  Ethan hit the pitches his first 2 at bats, and the third used the tee.  He also played outfield, third base and pitcher.  He said pitcher was his favorite, because he got to get the ball more and throw to first base :).  Anyway, on to pictures...

Playing the field...at least he wasn't picking flowers ;).

He smacked it down the first base line :)

If you look close, the white smear in the dirt out in front of his bat is the ball!

My good friend, Jessica, got a video of his first at bat and HIT of his baseball season!
