Max's FIRST T-ball Game!!

This past Friday we had Max's FIRST T-ball game!! We had a TON of rain on Thursday so I really didn't think Max would play. However, we were pleasantly surprised and Max was so EXCITED he couldn't see straight!! 

Max and his new buddy Colton!! Such a sweet boy and he is just as obsessed with sports as Max!! Hence why they were instant friends ;)

Crazy girl!! She was super EXCITED about bubba's game too!! She just ADORES watching her bubba do anything!!

Ready to PLAY!!!

Prayers and devotional time!! 

Max's team (the Yankees) were the visiting team today so they were first up to bat. Each kid gets to bat once an inning and run the bases once an inning. Max did great his first time up to bat! 

Then it was time to go in the outfield! Max played third base first. He caught a ball (well picked it up off the ground) right off! 

Emery ran out to her Daddy during the game!! Oops!! That was a Mommy fail. I was trying to video, get pictures, and watch little Miss Em. My parents were out of town for this game and my in-laws couldn't make it and Craig is helping coach. So....good thing it is very laid back ;)

Max second chance to bat he hit the ball all the way to the fence!! 

The other team took off to get the ball. It cracks me up how ALL of them run to get the ball!! Max took off running as fast as he could!!

And he made it home plate before the boys made it back with the ball!! Max's FIRST HOMERUN!! I know it isn't really considered one in t-ball but we are counting it as one!! Everyone was cheering for Max!! He LOVED it!!

The way it is set up they are to have about 4 innings or 50 minutes of play time. And they do a point system so the kids get points for hitting, catching and throwing. I haven't figured it all out yet as it is a bit confusing. Main point for us is Max learn some basics and to have FUN!!

I would def say he is learning and having FUN!! 

Craig coached first base the entire game. The parents help out with both teams. Max was getting some pointers from Daddy while he was in the out field. 

And that's the game!! Max looked over at the score Yankees 79 and Marlins 78! He was screaming "We win!! We win!!" in the out field. Guess we need to work on some better sportsmanship ;)

Lining up to say "Good game!" and high five the other team!! I kind of miss doing the tunnels ;) I guess they are too big for that now....

Running up to tell us Yankees WIN!!! Max was so EXCITED!! He really had a great time and of course we loved watching his first game!! So different from soccer or basketball!! I really wasn't sure if Max would like it or not because it isn't as fast paced as the other sports he has done. However, he talked about how much he liked it the entire way home. He also said it was his new favorite sport!! 

Guess we shall see in due time how he really feels about it!! His next game is scheduled for this coming up Sat. Stay tuned for how it goes!!
