A League of Their Own

Vic and I were pretty excited for Lexi to begin
her very first teeball season this spring.
We both have great memories from our years
spent playing in Sparta.

Once she heard that a bunch of her kindergarten
friends were all on the same Ladybugs team,
she was sold!

At this age, the YMCA still uses a tee,
so we spent a few Saturdays practicing out in the back yard.
It took Lexi a game or two to remember to run after hitting the ball,
but otherwise she was pretty into it.

There's still a lot to learn when it comes to fielding,
mainly, the girls all ran to the ball then didn't know who
should be the one to pick it up. 
But batting and running the bases went well,
and the first season was sure a sweet one.
Plus, they definitely looked the part -
with ladybug bows and personalized equipment buckets -
which is super important when you're 6.

 Go Ladybugs!!
