A National Pastime

Yogi Berra once said, "Little League baseball is a good thing because it keeps parents off the streets!" This is so true in the sense that it sure keeps us at the ball field 5 nights a week. With both boys playing on two different teams, we couldn't be out on the streets if we wanted to, and it definetely is a national pastime cause the time each week sure passes while we spend it all at the fields.

It has been more manageable than I thought. The hardest part is just keeping Levi occupied, but he is becoming quite the fan of running around the ball park. Landon plays for the Cardinals, and he is so excited that Jude is on his team and his daddy helps coach. Lofton plays for the Pirates. Both boys are doing well, and both are liking it. Well, Lofton LOVES it. He'd play 24-7 if I'd let him. He carries his glove and ball around all the time wanting someone to throw it with him.

*I am just gonna keep adding baseball pics here all year, so if you are interested, check here every now and again for more pics.

Lofton got the game ball Saturday, April 14th for his homerun! (He is mad because I told him we were leaving and he couldn't stay and play catch with his friends; of course, we had to turn right back around this day and come back 2 hours later.)
