Today, Mac started his baseball career. He was so excited all day knowing that his first t-ball game was in the evening. To honor the momentous day, he requested playing Go, Cubs, Go over and over at full volume in the car. They both sang along whole heartedly, until I got the camera going. Then it got quiet. So, here’s a snippit of what I could get.

We showed up at the field for a great night. They started a game after warm ups and throwing practice. Then they had to stop the game and teach the team where to run once they hit the ball! Hilarious!
He started at first base.
He was assigned first base along with this girl. They made quite a team taking turns covering the bag. During this inning, the coaches noticed the kids didn’t know where to run, so they stopped the game and had them all run the bases together…
Then each kid individually. Mac was first!
Then on to batting. While he was waiting to bat, he said, “I hope I hit a home run!!”
Mac on deck.
Mac was the last batter, so he got to run all the bases straight through. His homerun!
Then to DQ for a post game snack.
