Baseball Cougars

Isak and Elina are part of a homegrown team put together by some friends of us. Today was our second practice. Elina isn't very enthusiastic, I'll admit. But she enjoys the little group batting, throwing and catching practices before the "game." And that girl knows how to run fast. (Her sport is probably track and field, the 100m dash, whereas Isak is more of a long distance runner). Isak doesn't think he is very good, but he has actually hit the ball (never struck out) and consistently runs to second base on his own ball. I have been impressed, because hitting the ball that someone else pitches seems very hard to me.

 Taken today. It was hot! 

 These three bottom pictures were taken last practice when it was a lot colder. 

Here is Elina trying out her swing.
