Play Ball!

Last Sunday was a gorgeous day, perfect for teaching Brendan some baseball basics. First order of business, figure out which way Brendan feels more comfortable batting...

"No Daddy, I don't like that way"...


"This feels better"...


He's ready! Have a look at that form!! :)

The pitch is up...


Swing and a miss!
Brendan did a great job for his first attempt at batting - he didn't actually hit the ball mid-air, but got closer and closer the more Cary pitched to him. At one point, out of frustration, he took the bat and hit the ball golf-ball style while it was laying on the ground - then cheered and said, "Momma - did you see me hit it?!!"

After a rousing game of baseball, nothing tastes better then some hotdogs cooked over an open fire. Cary and Brendan headed out to the woods to gather some "cooking sticks"...
The fire - hot! The sticks - sharpened! It's time to cook!

Mmmmm.....
