T-Ball

For the past week or so, ball photos have
been keeping me busy.

Here are all of the team photos.

Especially for the little ones, it was
a challenge just to get them all
to look towards the camera at once.

This is what the memory mates
look like this year.

And, I didn't forget the girls
in pink!

I traveled to Kyle's farm near

The cows watching in the background

Old fences and barns made for great backgrounds!
