My daughter takes the field

So it begins today - my daughter begins her formal athletic career as she and her pint-sized pals on "Team 1" take on the dreaded "Team 2" in the New Brighton Park Department t-ball league. Game time is 6:15 p.m. at Pike Lake #2.

T-ball is a hoot. The kids really want to make plays, but they have only limited know-how. I fully expect to see pileups on the basepaths and a few kids holding the ball without any concept of what to do with it. I also expect that at least one player will cry. But it's going to be great. Our kids are enthusiastic and are cute as can be. It's going to be a lot of fun and the best part will be watching their improvement as the season goes on.
