Before we moved I signed Taylor and Brandon up for baseball and softball through the Parks and Rec. program here in town. We hoped it would help them make new friends and maybe meet some new families. Just a few days after we got settled into our new house they both started practice. Neither one was very happy nor excited about playing, but it turned out to be a huge blessing for our entire family. Both of the kids had great seasons and really enjoyed playing.
Taylor learned to pitch (fast pitch) and turned out to be the team's number one pitcher and pitched all four games in their conference tournament. However, the best part of softball for Taylor was that she made several good friends which lead to a few sleepovers and several play dates. Only bummer is none of the girls from her team will go to the school Taylor will be attending this fall.
At first Brandon had mixed feelings about baseball, however after a few weeks and some extra practice in the backyard he started to enjoy it. He really improved and enjoyed the other boys on his team, but never really made any great friends. We realized that boys don't socialize as much as the girls when playing sports.
Overall the kids really enjoyed playing, both really improved and we loved spending our evenings attending the games as a family.
