Wilson Family Baseball

The days after Christmas brought some bea-u-ti-ful weather our way. We made the most of these unusually warm winter days and played outside -- the kids were ready to try out the new baseball gloves they got and we added a new bat so we were ready to play ball!!

Charlotte wasn't part of the game, but she sure was happy about being outside and running around!

Matt set up the kids outdoor chalkboard as a backboard to keep balls from heading toward the water.

When they got a hit, they had to run around the house, usually with me chasing them.

Future umpire??

I'm so thankful that Matt is athletic -- if it was up to me, our kids would never learn to throw a ball. Ha! He's awesome at pitching to them right where they can hit it. And, Madeleine is pretty good and likes it so I think she's going to play softball this spring for the first time.

Charlotte was up and down on the slide over and over while they played ball. She also had a big time chasing balls down for us. :)

The kids enjoyed our family baseball game so much that we played several more times that week. It made me ready for spring when we can get outside more -- especially after this arctic blast we've had this week!!
