Back for another hit... and Talmage is pitching :).
After watching for a little while I couldn't figure out the rules. I went outside and the kids explained that they each either get 5 hits or 5 strikes (swings). After that they switch. If the hitter gets a hit he has to run the "bases" while the pitcher retrieves the ball and runs back to the pitching spot. If the pitcher beats the hitter back he wins, if the runner gets around the bases and back to home first then he wins. Very unique, but also good without having to tag each other... I think these rules work just great :).
They even taught Sandra how to hit the ball. That was really cute (sorry I left the camera inside). I also took a turn or two, but I don't think we have a very good yard for baseball. The ball kept going over the fence. After going to the neighbor's house to get the ball again we switched where we were playing, but it just kept going over the fence and then into the street. Maybe we'll have to find a good park to play in :).
I had a great time playing with my kids. They can come up with some fun games! Next up... Soccer!
