Previous Message any of my games to watch me play Previous Message I got dropped off at a sandy field in jeans and a t-shirt with my mitt, and that was baseball. The team had a handful of bats and helmets that everyone shared. If the helmet that was available when it was your turn to bat was too big, you just put it on over your hat. Previous Message - My 8yo does weekly horseback riding lessons and we occasionally pop for the surprise trail ride. She and I do a weekly guitar lesson with the idea that maybe her own guitar is in the future this summer if she stays with it. - My 6yo does karate and flag football.
