T-ball, Ducks and the Park

We have officially entered summer! Last Friday night, both of the kids started their t-ball seasons. Chase is playing on a team at the YMCA. There are 11 kids on his team and they are absolutely adorable. He hit the ball - "very far" according to Chase - and ran to 1st base! Yeah.

Chase playing 3rd base...hands on his knees waiting for the ball to be hit.

Emily is playing t-ball with the same coach as last year through the Maize Recreation department. She has 10 kids on her team. I could tell a huge improvement over last year just after the first game. She is #6 and loves the color of her shirts - PINK. Dad is helping coach again and is a little less than thrilled that he gets to wear pink, but doesn't the saying go, "Real men wear pink?" At least he's a great dad for stepping up!!

Emily made it to 1st base and gets some coaching advice from dad.

On Saturday evening, we took a bike ride to Sedgwick County park with a bag full of bread. The kids had a great time feeding the ducks, althought they didn't seem too hungry. Emily liked chasing after them, and Chase got mad when they wouldn't eat what he gave them. It was so funny to watch them.

We of course also had to stop for a little playing at the park. Emily loves to swing.....

.....Chase had fun scaring me coming through the tunnel slide.......

...and the highlight is going as fast and around as many times as possible in the tire swing!

We had a great time together!! We rounded out the weekend with our first trip to the neighborhood pool on Sunday. They both did great and will be little fish all summer, I'm sure.
