Last night was a night they have been looking forward to through weeks of practice. THE FIRST GAME! And this year, Kaitlynn is part of the team, not just the bat girl. :-)
Here they are before they head off to the game. Aren't they cute!?!?!? :-)
Naturally, Kaebrie wants her picture taken too! So I used it as an excuse to show you some of the beautiful tulips that have bloomed in the front yard!
Here is Collin, warming up for his first turn at bat!
Batter up!
SWING and HIT!!
Safely on second base and waiting and hoping to get to third!
Running to third (and yet another Smith tongue on the play) :-)
The sigh of relief when the ump yelled 'SAFE!" It was pretty close!
And the slide into home for the first run of the first game!!!
Kaitlynn warming up her swing!
Getting ready and concentrating!!
A little nervous about how fast that ball is coming at her!
Those 10 year old boys sure are strong!
She didn't get a hit this time, but she sure had fun!
Christopher and Kaebrie really didn't care to much about the game. But they sure had fun climbing all over the bleachers.
Proud Daddy watches intently from his perch!
Well, one game down, 14 more to go. Thankfully 9 of the games are here on base. The other games are in small towns within a 30 mile distance. They play most of the games here because the base has the best field. The other towns have to clear the cows off the fields before the games (no, I am NOT kidding)!

I am sure their will be more updates later!
( And a picture of a cow on home plate if I can catch it) :-)
