Take Me Out To The Ballgame

This fall, Carter was FINALLY old enough to play baseball. He barely made the cutoff and was the youngest on his team. He was so excited to finally be able to go out onto the field like his cousins Will and Mason. His team was the Marlins and he had a wonderful coach who had a lot of patience with Carter. Although he had never really played other than in our back yard, he did fairly well and got better and better with each game. By the end, he was throwing well and was making contact with the ball. The very first time he got a hit, he carried his bat with him all around the bases. He didn't really have a clue as to what to do other than run (forget listening to the first and third base coaches!). He made it to second fine but instead of slowing up there, he decided to keep running and was tagged out just before he got to third. However, he didn't realize this in all of his excitement, so he kept running and made it home. He came into the dugout and proudly proclaimed that he had made a "homerun". It was too funny!! His team was really good and only lost 3 games. They ended up in second place in their division!
Here he is "down and ready" playing his position in the outfield.

Here he is at bat!
