America's Favorite Pasttime

Today was the first day of t-ball  baseball for our boys.  They were soooo excited.  Very different from a few years ago when we basically had to drag Micah out onto the field for soccer, t-ball, and flag football.  This time, they were ready to go.
Liam's team was first up, and Micah's played after his.  As I was looking at these pictures, which for once I thought I would just let speak for themselves instead of narrating each one, I was struck by one thing that shown through in almost all of the pictures: these boys look thrilled just to be out on the field playing baseball.
One day, if they keep playing, the game will be about RBIs and what position they're playing and practicing for hours and batting averages.  And that's okay.
But today was about throwing a ball, and hitting a ball, and running like crazy after a ball in the field, and being so excited about playing that they started dancing while waiting in line for their turn to practice batting.
Today was about boys having fun playing baseball.
And did they ever.
