Higgins Beach ballgame

One of the highlights of the summer. It all started with the kids making up a game somewhat similar to baseball. Then Mike ran over and yelled "I'm up!" And Andrew and Jason joined. And teams started. And everyone got involved and people stopped to watch and the girls came over from the other cottage. And it was exactly what it should be. So here it is, all in the wrong order.

Andrew on second base.

The official umpire.
The official photographer (these are all unofficial photographs, pirate copies).
I run bases, too.
Hangin' out at first base. Rules had to be made about hanging onto, and breaking, the first base branches.
The BIG SWING.
Alert and ready (with yet another photographer).
Somewhat less alert and ready, but really interested in something.
At bat. This led to the Being On Second that led off the pictures.
Everyone's really into it here.
Definitely ready, but confusing running going on at first.
