Not all kids are attached to their computers and video games....

:lol: ... at least not my son (age 8)....

We're having quite a storm here, cold, windy, rain hammering down......Robby's baseball game was cancelled and he was quite unhappy.

So, I was up here in my office, listening to the rain batter the side of the house, hearing thumps and bangs, and I was thinking "Wow, the wind is blowing so hard it's shaking the screens and the sashes!"

Then, I heard a bang that was so loud I had to investigate.:yikes:

Jr. was outside, taking batting practice! :lol:

Fortunately, he was using a wiffle ball and plastic bat, and not a real baseball.:smilewinkgrin:

Good for him Rob, better to be outside than slobbing it in front of a TV.

Go and join him mate, at least until the wife gets in

Wow... Rob, that's raining good and proper, too! What a little pro in the making!

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Nice to see Rob, he doesn't seem to be bothered by the rain much

 

[Rob Z]

We finally made him come in, once the wind gusts got up to about 40 mph. :yikes:

I'm just glad he's using a wiffle ball now because he has already broken four windows in the house.:mad2:

I don't think I've seen another kid so obsessed with baseball. I have to admit that I'm glad it's baseball and not other sports that I don't enjoy. :smilewinkgrin:

And I'm glad that he doesn't like all the electronic lollipops-computer, tv, video games, Ipod, etc etc.

That's what I like to see...... But shouldn't you be out there too pitching for him?

 

[Rob Z]

I will tomorrow, Bob. We also have a pitching machine, and when we set that up I'll load it up and send maybe 100 pitches his way. I usually get tired of it before he does.:smilewinkgrin:

One of my girls are an outdoor type too, can't get enough.
Tomorrow i have to go collect 2 hens for her,lol.
I find lately mobile phones with kids is worse than video games.
Even my 19 year old is a pain in the rear with the texting.
