Watch out sports fans, here they come! Gracie and Kate are the names...tee-ball is the game. It was so much fun to watch the girls play another season of spring tee-ball. Baseball is one of the only sports I can handle and actually enjoy, perhaps due to my childhood experiences watching my brother play little league...or maybe due to my time on the pitcher's mound playing softball. Either way, I'm a little attached to the sport and am happy my girls enjoy it too. They had a fun season learning a little more about the game and interacting with their teammates. After a 'team name' brainstorming session, the players settled on the Cheetah Monkeys. I think one of my girls contributed the 'Cheetah' part. Upon hearing the name, Mama and Papa bought a stuffed cheetah and a stuffed monkey to serve as the team's mascots. Cheetah and Monkey made an appearance at most every game. Here are some fun pictures from the season:

Gracie up to bat

She had this funny ritual of tapping her bat to the ground before she swung.
Some might say the tapping was a little excessive, but hey, she "whacked that ball".
