Fall Ball

Griffin's t-ball season started up a couple of weeks ago.  He's playing on the Longhorns and having a good time.  He has different coaches this season, and they are really helping the boys learn a lot -- and they're having fun while they're doing it!  At one practice, they even brought water balloons so the boys could practice throwing and catching and hitting them off the tee!

The Longhorns have played their first few games already.  Griffin has mostly played 2nd base and outfield, and although he's not nearly as intense about it as his brother, he seems to be enjoying it. 

Unfortunately, we aren't having as good luck with Rhys's team.  Several of the players decided at the last minute to play football, which conflicts with the baseball practice and game schedule.  So we've had to put the Voodoo on hold for a few months until after football season.  We're hoping to squeeze in a tournament or two before the end of the year.  Rhys is pretty disappointed about the whole thing, and I'm sorry to say that we, as a team, have learned some lessons the hard way.  There are about five core team members that have been working very hard to learn to pitch and keep up their other baseball skills.  Rhys has been practicing a lot and is turning into a pretty good little pitcher.  I just wish we didn't have to wait so long to see him pitch in a game!
