the season is winding down

 Baseball season is finishing up.  Joshua has loved playing t-ball.

After being thrown out at first one week, he developed a "strategy" of hitting down the 3rd base line and "running like the Flash" to first base.  (he hasn't been thrown out since) 

 

One of the highlights of each game it to see friends on the opposing teams.  These two boys are come of Joshua's favorite friends.  After this game Joshua told us, "even though we were on different teams, we can still be friends."

Anna Ruth has enjoyed baseball season too.  She especially likes that she gets to eat pretzels during the game.

 Last night's game was cut short by a downpour.

Joshua got to play in the field but didn't get to bat.

Here he is "practicing" his throw.

After we got soaked and made a mad dash for the car the traffic was so bad in the parking lot that we just sat and visited for a while.  After about 10 minutes the rain stopped and the t-ball field was empty.  Since Joshua didn't get to bat in the game, he and Dave ran out on the field for a little batting practice.  Joshua got a hold of one that Dave pitched to him and hit it to the fence.  He ran the bases and slid into home.

What I would have given for a picture of the smile on his face!

The last game is Thursday.  We're hoping it isn't rained out.
