First Blastball Game

Lucas had his first official Blastball game on the weekend of the 18th. He was so excited to go and play on the "real dirt" for the first time. He was eager to get out the door, and he would only sit for a picture if he could pick the spot. I think he's got an eye for it!  I love his squinty smile, and I just may have to frame the thumbs up one :)

We had to take team pics before the first game, and Lucas was NOT pleased. This is his, "I thought we were here to play baseball, NOT to take pictures" face.

We will see how the official pic turns out. SIGH.

Onto the game!  Lucas had to check out the first first...

First at bat!

Tagging up on the honking base (manned by his buddy Mr. Calder) and heading back to the dugout.

Had to include this one of Lucas's friend Lyra. She is the only girl on the team and likes playing in the dirt more than any of the boys. She can't stay out of it and is SO CUTE!

Fielding. This was a little more challenging for the littles.

Lucas was worn out after two innings, and was pretty hard on himself, but we think he enjoyed it. (He was also super excited to find out that you get SNACKS after the game. Haha!) Team sports will be good for our little introvert, though we suspect his real sports prowess will come in an individual sport like tennis or golf.

All in all, it has been great fun, and we are very proud of our little #6!
