Athleticism

It's raining again and I'm catching up on pictures, can you tell?

For those who know us, neither Bryan nor I are athletic.  Bryan has the build for it but only enjoys a few sports.  Brandon, however, is ALL athlete!  Our siblings enjoy rubbing in that we have days and days worth of sitting watching sports coming up because he is so athletic.  As long as I have a camera near by to capture my boy enjoying playing sports, I'm okay with that.

Mother's day we went for a walk/bike ride to Bender and there were several teams playing baseball.  Brandon was completely fascinated with it and Auntie Cheryl did a good job explaining the game to him.  When we got back home she helped him learn some throwing skills in the back yard.  We're still practicing.




Bryan and Cheryl went to play tennis in the evening.  Brandon desperately wanted to go watch so after a bath and some supper I took them over there to "watch".  The watching didn't last very long!  Brandon soon decided it was his job to become the ball fetcher.



Seen Brandon's hands?  He's just itching to touch those balls.


Then, after finishing their last game, Bryan called Brandon over to try play and he did SO well!

He dropped the ball for himself and hit it...
 Sometimes he missed...


Then Bryan started dropping the balls for him...


and he hit most of them...


He hit with flare...


and nice form...


and Micah took over the ball fetcher job! :)


Yep, we have sports in our future.  :)

Blessings
