How about a little baseball

It was a gorgeous day today. This afternoon, we went to the park with a T-ball thing and began to teach Ella how to swing the bat. She was really funny – she loved her bat, loved running around with it, and didn’t want to give us a turn to use it. She hit really well with our help. The bat was a little big so we are going to get her something a little smaller. It was a lot of fun. After T-ball, we went home and got the dogs and took them to another park by the house. Ella insisted on walking the whole time – including going over the 4th Street bridge. Ella ran around the park and climbed to the top of “tall mountain” a very large grassy hill in the beginning of the park. She met a lot of other dogs and had so much fun. In the evening, we took advantage of gaining an hour of sunlight and went to dinner in the Ferry Building with Becca. Ella had such a great time with Becca that she ordered Sunny and I to “go away” when we were leaving the restaurant. She really wanted her alone time with Becca. We thought it was terrific.

Remember – keep your eye on the ball
