End of the T-Ball Era

It's over. It's done with. It will never happen again in the Schanz Family. 

What is IT?

T-Ball. 

All four clovers have played. We've sat through four seasons of everyone gets to bat every inning. Four seasons of everyone gets on base. Four seasons of the last batter gets to run a home run, and everyone gets to play the last batter at least once. And four seasons of "this has to be THE most boring hour of our lives!" 

Lol. I remember when Kenna played and I helped coach. I don't think we were as bored with it then, but mostly because it was our first sport for one of our kids to play. We hadn't been introduced to rec or competitive sports yet. 

As the years went and the kids got older and into more interesting sports teams, we quickly learned how boring T-Ball was. We even tried to bypass it on Kammie and KJ, but alas, they won't allow you to play coach/machine pitch a year early unless you've played one year of T-Ball. 

So we endured. And endured. And finally endured one last season. 

KJ loved it. But pretty much because his first best friend, Nathan was on his team. They call each other "first best friend" because they have many other best friends. According to Nathan, he has 108. I'm extremely lucky if I have 108 friends, let alone best friends!

Anyway, we are done with T-Ball forever! 

Here are some pics from the season. 

My favorite is the one where KJ is talking to Nathan in the outfield. We found out they decided they were not going to let the girl on second base get to third. Hehe!

KJ is number 7 and his friend Nathan is number 10. 

God Bless,

Mel
