Play Ball!

Every Saturday morning, neighbourhood families descend on the local ball field for a spring tradition. I grew up across from a baseball field and it brings back so many wonderful childhood memories to watch my kids get involved in the sport. The smell of hot dogs and fresh brewed coffee mixed with the fresh spring morning air. What a great way to start a Saturday.

This week my daughter's team, the Merry Blueberries, played the Sooke team .. all boys I might add .. the girls played hard and showed those boys a thing or two!










Next it was my son's turn. It's his first year playing Tball and luckily he's got daddy as a coach to keep his eye on the game. I think his favourite part is kicking up dust in the diamond but he's got a great swing and can really whack it out of the park when he wants to.





Best of all we get to spend a beautiful morning in the fresh air with our friends and neighbours.. and I have to say, nothing beats those ballpark hotdogs.
