As most of you already know, the boys are slightly obsessed with baseball. Just slightly. :) I love this actually. I love baseball as well, so it is so much fun to share this love with my children. However, I did think that to be a good mother, I should probably introduce them to a few other sports as well, just to be thorough. :) So, we enrolled the boys in a "sports sampler" class at our local community center with one of their buddies last quarter. They spent three weeks playing soccer, three playing baseball, and three playing basketball. This is the first "class" that they have ever attended, so I was so excited to watch them go through all of the sports, as well as learn to better take direction, interact with the other children, etc. It was a really great experience for them. I think what I came out of the entire class with is the assurance that my boys don't just love sports, they are actually pretty good athletically. I was pretty darn impressed! Especially with Dylan's dribbling ability! We had so much fun watching them!!! First weeks of soccer! Their little friend Sydney is the one that is crouching down in the first picture. The boys had a lot of fun with her! Second one is Lucas kicking the ball down the "field" and last one is Dylan doing his best to be a goalie. He was extremely serious about his job!
Their favorite, BASEBALL! It was hilarious because once the instructors found out that the boys had played before, they kept moving the tee further and further back so the boys wouldn't hit anyone!
First pic is Lucas doing his best to make a basket, and the second is Dylan getting ready to spring! Both of them were also very serious about "guarding" the hoop when the other team would try to score a basket....so adorable.
The boys and Sydney at the end of the session, with their instructors Coach Katie and Coach Joy. They were so patient and kind with all of the children, and the boys just loved both of them. We will definitely be going back for more!
