Durham Bulls

Adeline is playing T-ball this spring.  It is something she requested.  We have never mentioned baseball in this house.  While down in Durham, we had to opportunity to go to a Durham Bulls game.  It seemed like a great opportunity to introduce Adeline to baseball since she has only had one practice and her first game is on Saturday!

Boy did we have tons of explaining to do.

What is out?  Where does he go?  Does he have to go home?
What is a strike?
Where are the bases?
Who is the pitcher?
Can I hit the ball? - Miss Adeline of course.

Clearly, we aren't a big baseball family.  We tried our best to answer their questions and were quickly exhausted by all the details that needed explaining to answer the original question.  The playground, balloon man and snacks quickly got them focused on other things!
