Batting practice

Hello all,

Hello again from the wonderful backyard. Tonight Zac and I entertained some of the neighborhood kids with some batting practice. It started with just Zachary and I hitting some balls off of the tee in the backyard. He then asked me to toss a few into him. He has decided to be left handed which is confusing to him as he tries to mimic my motions. After a few tosses, he was making contact and sending the ball flying.

The sound of a bat hitting a ball attracts a crowd. Soon Carson and Charles were in our yard and asking to take a turn at the plate. Zac played well with the other boys for a while. They each took three turns at the plate. The heat was starting to get to the kids as well as me so at 6:30 I called the session complete. Zac and I went inside and had a cool cup of water and told mom all about how much fun we had outside. Zac was very proud of himself for his accomplishments.

It was a great night. I look forward to many more just like it.
