T-Ball

I am so slow at posting right now as we have been getting ready for VBS (which starts tomorrow) and things, so please forgive me when you read posts that are in the past tense!!
Last week Marissa had her first T-Ball game!! She was so excited!!! That's why I am adding so many exclaimation points!!!! She (and all the girls) were so fun to watch. Marissa has never played the game before and had only been to one practice, so the first game was a really BIG deal.
In this league the girls get four pitches, then if they don't hit the ball they get four chances to hit it from the T. On her first at bat, Marissa didn't hit any pitches, but she hit from the T. On her second at bat, Marissa hit a ball from the pitcher!
We have to keep reminding her to drop the bat when she hits a ball. Then, run!! Run to first base. She is getting there... and the paths she runs are more zig-zags. They are definitely NOT straight lines.
The comments the girls make and the fascination with dirt just crack us up. Marissa has never been interested in dirt before. She says this dirt is "soft."
By the way, Marissa is now the proud owner of a hot pink bat, hot pink batting helmet, pink and white glove, a hot pink drink cup, and a black and pink equipment bag. The team shirt is hot pink and the name of the team is Pink Panthers.
Go, Pink Panthers!!
