Warning: This post has lots of pictures. The first part of spring break the boys went to baseball camp with the Bay Area Toros. They are a minor league professional team that plays in Texas City. Some of the players were the ones who instructed them during the camp. It was 3 days for 4 hours a day. The boys plus one of JT's friends went had fun. Here they are at the first of day 2:

This was the start of day 3. JT's age group started off in the batting cages. This is JT with his friend that went too, yes they are the same age, and no JT is not short for his age, his friend is just tall.
His friend had spent the night and they stayed up too late, can you tell how tired they are?Dylan hitting some balls out on the field:
Towards the end of the last day they broke them up into teams and let them play some mini games. The kids loved this. JT pitching during the game:

At the end of the last day they took all the campers and broke them up into 4 teams. Then they paired two of the teams together against the other 2. They sent two out to center field and the other two on the left field baseline, and had relay races. I think the kids enjoyed this almost more than anything. JT running in from centerfield:
After it was all over with the kids got certificates and 4 tickets to come back and watch the Toros play once their season starts in May. They also got tshirts. The players that were there stayed around and signed the kids shirts, balls or hats and took pictures with them:
JT leaning over getting an autograph from one of the players:
Dylan with the centerfielder:
All the boys with one of the Toro players:
The boys with the Toros catcher:
The boys with one of the Toros pitchers:
And the boys with the Toros Asst. General Manager Bob. He was awesome and so very nice and gave us his email so the boys can come to one of home games and be a bat boy for the Toros, they can't wait:
This was a lot of fun and the boys really enjoyed it. If you have a child (as there were girls out there) who loves baseball, I would recommend the Toros camp to you. They will have some more camps this summer and I plan on sending the boys again and they can't wait to go!
