Helen's First Ball Game!!

Today is the day Chris has been waiting for since we first found out I was pregnant with Helen - her first ball game. He always played sports growing up and of course, he wants our kids to do the same. We tried to get Helen to play last year but she really didn't want to, so of course we didn't make her. This year, she was very excited to play. Chris's aunt and uncle are the coaches and Chris is helping so he can take over next year. She is playing coach pitched softball.

Haha, "warming up". No, Uncle Mike was telling them something :)Warming up with ChrisThe team in the dugout.Standing on first base. She went 3 for 4.Excited to be playing!They are allowed to have two coaches in the outfield during the game to help the players. Chris just happened to be standing by Helen. Here she is asking him if she can have some M&M's! Way to stay focused Helen :)Up to bat!The team!Chris and HelenLove this picture!The league we are in is noncompetitive. You can only score 5 runs in an inning and the fifth run counts as the final out. We scored 5 runs every inning and eight the last! One little boy hit a grand slam to end it!! All the kids did great - they all played great and more importantly, they all had good attitudes and good sportsmanship!
