Let's Play Ball!

Elye and Reesi at Larry's game later that day. His field is beautiful! Unfortunately, all his time and energy goes into his baseball field not his backyard. Our backyard is kind of the opposite of his field:( And how about that Batter's Eye. That's another one of his projects he is so proud of.

The girls love to drag the field with Dad.

Elye wants to spend the whole time at the playground next to the ball field.

Reesi did not want to play softball this year. Every year we ask her she always says, "I'll play when I'm six." Well, when she's six then she says, "I'll play when I'm seven." This year we convinced her to play by telling her that Grace was playing b/c she was playing and she couldn't flake out on her cousin. So she went for it and she's been having a good time. She loves grounding the balls and she stopped several at the first game. She was 0 for 2 at the plate, but luckily she wasn't too upset about it.

The night before the game Reesi decided she wanted to pray with her team the way Dad does. So we emailed the coach and set it up. It was so cute to see them gathered around the pitcher's mound before the game for her to lead the prayer. It couldn't have been sweeter.
