We got up at 6:45am on our last Saturday before the triplets were born, for Harper's first baseball game. Call us CRAZY! We loaded up the car early this morning with a super excited three year old who could not wait for his first game! He has been interested in baseball since his baseball themed birthday party in August. Everyday when Cam gets home from work they hit balls in the back yard.
Harper and his best buddy Cooper are on the Baltimore Orioles team. The team colors are orange and black which just happen to be Harper's favorite colors...."GO POKES colors!" YMCA baseball consists of a 30 minute practice followed by a 30 minute game. This is perfect for 3 year olds, well kind of, they really have a
short no attention span!!
I went on a coffee run so I missed practice, but I was in for some laughs when I got back. It was hilarious to watch the chaos on the field. Every dad was out there trying to tell their son what to do, where to run, where to throw the ball, etc. There was a sea of people of the field, and little guys in oversized baseball gear. Adorable! Harper played pitcher and Cooper played 2nd base. Every time a batter hit the ball Cooper and Harper would run to the ball and tackle each other. It looked more like football than baseball! The dads could be yelling run to first, throw it to 2nd, but lets be honest they had no clue what they were supposed to do! Harper eventually caught on and got someone out the last play of the game. Proud moment for dad!

After the game was over, we
had to go to Academy and buy Harper come more baseball equipment. Cam walked out with a new baseball bat (we only have plastic at home), glove, bag, "real" baseballs, and a tee. I am not sure who is more excited Harper or Cam!

That is TOO CUTE!!! I am SO impressed that you are 8 months pregnant with triplets and going to tee-ball games! Cam is going to have so much fun with his four boys and I foresee MANY MANY MANY Saturdays at the baseball fields for you, my friend! :) Woohoo, 5 more days!
Oh Girl you are gonna be Super Mom to all those boys!! Love this post to cute! What a great way to spend your last Saturday before the boys make their way into the world. Sending Lots of Love and cant wait to see the pictures of your little love bugs when they get here.
oh my goodness, this makes me so excited for Brayden next year! I am going to HAVE to find a tee ball league for him. He LOVES baseball (well, any sport really, so I guess the sooner we get him in something the better).
