Teamwork!





Today, Darrel and I went to our 5 year old grandsons t-ball game. If you're looking for something to do that's fun, free and will make you cheer AND laugh...come on out to the field! You'll get lots of all three!

I have watched these little guys, and one gal, practice weekly for a month or so. Each time they came out, they learned a little more about TEAMWORK. At this age, working "with" one another can be a new concept. They tend to want to do it all themselves and don't quite get the TEAMWORK idea.

But today, man they were working together like a finely tuned clock! These little fellows listened to their coaches, for the most part, and worked that ball wonderfully! Although we had one team member sit down on the field to rest and one took off his glove to wipe off his hand, all in all, their TEAMWORK was great!

Play after play, those little guys did a great job throwing the ball in, catching it, running it and sliding in to home! Poppa and I were SOOOOOO proud, as was everyone else! Although we lost by one point, if TEAMWORK had of been the way to win the game, we'd of WON!

In these photos, the last 2 are great shots PROVING TEAMWORK. In the 3rd one, if you'll look real hard a little left of center, you'll see the ball in the air that the 3rd baseman had thrown. Notice he and Easton are working together, watching that ball! In the 4th shot, you can see the 3rd baseman ready to back up Easton if he missed the ball coming to him. The other two pics are pretty self explanatory! Ya think we're proud of our Easton, or what?!!

You know, lots of adults haven't learned the idea of TEAMWORK yet. It's not ever ALL about just one player, but everyone working together to achieve the goal. Way to go boys...we're SO proud of you...of course, especially our grandson Easton!
