Big Ball

Shawn has been playing on a Big Ball team this year. Jim and I went to his game last night and had a fun time watching. Unfortunately the team he plays on lost but Shawn played very well making a couple runs and did a great job pitching for the team. This is Shawn's first time playing ball since little league but he does a great job at short and pitcher none the less. They pitch far different than his little leaque games. They throw underhand and try to get it very high and drop on the plate. Very tricky but he is doing really well learning the tricks and struck out quite a few players last night.
As you can see when he is batting here the ball is much larger than a standard baseball. Also no one wears a glove.
Today mom and I went to Presque Isle for PI Days. It was a great day for the beach, hot temps just right to jump in the cool lake water. However, we were not in the water... but walking around with Misha looking at craft show. I did manage to come across a few special creatures who wanted there picture taken.
