Breakfast with the Kids

Here the coach is teaching the children how to hit the ball as well as how to avoid getting hit with a loose ball.  



Note: The internet here is really slow and so uploading pictures and even saving takes forever, so this blog is running a bit behind, but I'll do my best to keep it updated as we go.

    I'm going to have to do a crazy internet search tonight... I see Mary being interviewed on camera... I'm glad they are getting to eat local food there. Ethan eating sushi looked priceless!
