And the crowd goes wild....

On Sunday we had dinner with Mary and TJ. After dinner Mary and Allen took the kids outside to play. Allen showed the boys how to use the t-ball tee that the Delvin's have in their collection of toys. Emma found this very interesting. She sat and watched as Allen explained that you have to knock some of the dirt off your shoes, take a few practice swings, keep your eye on the ball and swing. Weldon was getting pretty good at it, and loved the instruction.

Well, a couple of days ago, I spent the afternoon with Mary. We were letting the kids play in the backyard. Emma picked up the t-ball, carefully placed it on the tee. Then she found the bat, walked up to near the tee, took a couple of practice swings, and then walked up to the tee, and swung the bat. Believe it or not, she connected with the ball! She was so cute! What follows is the action in photos... of course!

Taking the ball up to the tee. So determined!!Taking a few practice swings. Got to warm up, right?Walking up to the tee.

And the ball is... GONE!!!

A few seconds later I got a big smile, which of course I missed on film.. but oh well! I wish I had a video camera for moments like this... But I know it warmed my mom's heart stings to see at least one of her grandbabies might just love the game as much as she did!
