Nathan has been dying to try-out a sport, and baseball was his choice. I suppose he takes after my brothers when it comes to the urge to play this particular sport, and I hope Nathan sticks to it as long as my two younger brothers did. However, since Chris and myself are not very 'sports oriented', poor Nathan has not yet been exposed, much less introduced, to the simple rules of baseball. So... my little eager batt-swinger participated in a weekend 'Baseball Hitting Camp'. This camp was to teach kids of all ages the basics of hitting a baseball, among other things...
All I can say is, "Nathan had a BLAST, and is now very anxious, excited, and eager to begin baseball season in the Spring!" Nathan got some baseball paraphernalia for Christmas and is really excited about it!!
Below: Nathan was catching and chasing after the baseballs that his 'group' were hitting.
Below: Nathan was learning the "4 B's" of baseball; in this picture he was performing his 'routine' before bringing the bat up to his shoulder to prepare for swinging.
Below: I love this picture! At one of the 'stations', Nathan's group was learning how to run-the-bases. Apparently, sliding to home plate was a favorite move among Nathan's group; and Nathan proved to be good at it too!
Below: At the end of the second day of camp, Nathan was presented with a 'certificate', and he got this really cool t-shirt!
We are SO proud of our future baseball star!
Until next time...
