Baseball

Endelig weekend, men tidligt op. Besluttede at tilbringe min formiddag med familien trods det, at jeg egentlig har fri. Jeg tog med min hostdad og den mindste dreng til baseball træning, da han flere gange i løbet af ugen, havde spurgt ind til, om jeg ikke ville se ham spille. Selvfølgelig, ingen tvivl om det - hvis det kunne gøre ham glad. Træningen foregik i en kæmpe park i virkelig flotte omgivelser. Det er så ubeskriveligt smukt her! Solen stod højt på himlen, det var en anelse for varmt, men ellers super hyggeligt og virkelig amerikansk. Træningen bestod af to dele; øvelse og kamp. De første tre kvarter stod alle fædrene og spillede med deres sønner. Trænede kast og skud, samt det at gribe bolden. Den sidste tid blev der spillet træningskamp, hvor træneren lod dem spille og ellers guidede dem igennem kampen. Det var simpelthen så hyggeligt at sidde i min klap-ud-stol med musik i ørene, imens jeg kunne følge de små børn i deres baseballdragter løbe rundt på banen. Følge dem gøre et ihærdig forsøg på at spille godt. De var simpelthen så søde! Kan virkelig godt lide den måde de træner på - sådan en far og søn ting. Samtidig var træneren sjov og rigtig virkelig god med børnene. Det var en fornøjelse at overvære!

I went with my host dad and my youngest host boy to baseball training. Several times this week he'd asked me if I wanted to come and watch him play. Of course, no doubt about it - if it could make him happy. The training took place in a huge park in really nice surroundings. It's so beautiful here! The sun was burning, it was a little bit too hot, but I had a nice time. The training consisted of two parts, training and a game. The first 45 minutes all the fathers played with their sons. They trained throws and hits, and catching the ball as well. The last time they played a game where the coach guided them through the game. It was so nice watching them playing while I listened to music. I could follow the little kids in their baseball suits running around the track - follow them do their bests. They were so cute all of them! I really like the way they practice their sports here - a sort of a father and son thing. At the same time the coach was really fun and he did a great job with the kids. It was a pleasure to watch!
