Munchkins Amok

Out little munchkin finished her summer sports class. She learned to play soccer, basketball, tennis, tee ball, floor hockey but if you ask her, she learned how to play Sharks and Minnows.

Nothing Says Summer Like A Little Tee Ball

I spent much of my summers growing up hanging out around ball parks. My sisters and I all played softball and my Dad was a coach, manager and an umpire (still likes to umpire). There were practices (2 or so each week) as well as games (2+ each week). Before I was old enough to play on a team (we had to be 8 to start WAY back then), I would attend my sisters' games and practices and typically played with the other siblings who also were too young to play.

Well, I wasn't quite ready to invest that much time in one activity for B, so I got very excited when I found out that our local parks and rec center has a tee ball program for kids ages 4-6. It lasts 5 weeks. 1 hour per week. 30 minutes of practice, then 30 minutes of scrimmage. Now that is a perfect amount of tee ball. 5 hours. TOTAL. B loved it. We thought it was adorable to watch. G loved playing with the other siblings on the nearby playground. I hope B thinks of his tee ball time as fondly as I remember mine.
