New Toy

For Christmas the kids got a new toy to share - it's basically a pop-up catcher for them to practice pitching with. So we took it out to the park to try it out. And it is awesome. If they hit the catcher the balls drop into this neat little attached bag, and if they don't...well it's not my face in jeopardy of getting taken out but rather this inanimate guy. Being a catcher to an 8 yr old and 10 yr old who are not so consistent can be scary.

Turns out the only bad part about the catcher is that he has to be folded up in a manner similar to those things you put on your dashboard to keep the sun out. In other words you flail your arms about in hopes that it will magically collapse into the neat circle it should be in for proper storage. "We" may have had some trouble with that...but "we" got it!
