A Boy and His Daddy...

...on the last day of t-ball.

Merrick had quite a few fans watching him today. Grandma and I, aunt Lori and uncle Steve, uncle Jeff, and cousin(?) Scotty. Even great-grandpa Jim (my dad) showed up.

He didn't disappoint, getting two "hits" (at this age, there are no outs), and showing off his arm from first base. The only bad thing? He hasn't got the hang of drinking out of a bottle, so he had an orange Gatorade mustache for all of the after-the-game photos.

Doug (Merrick's dad) does a great job of coaching the team. Both he and coach Bob are always encouraging the kids...which is SO important at this age.

All in all, this was a nice bunch of kids this year, AND a nice group of parents. I did have some 8 by 10 collages made up of each player to pass out, and they went over pretty well.
