Take me out to the ballgame...

HG is fast developing a love of baseball. Now that her Abba umps for the local little league, HG has been to several Friday games in the nearby park to see her Abba in action. She has taken to using kitchen rolls and a soft toy ball to play "baseball" with and gets excited when she sees any baseball related pics.

Now that the inaugural season of the Israeli Baseball League is underway, Abba and Ima have taken HG to several games and her eyes light up everytime a game is mentioned "Go to baseball game, Abba take me to a baseball game, PLEEEEASE!" One day she was so anxious to go that she stood by the door for the best part of an hour waiting for Abba to come and take her to one.

She has even sat through several of the games, and will often give them her rapt attention for at least a few innings in a row, before running off to try and make believe her own baseball game.

Ima has taken many photos at the games because HG loves watching baseball slideshows on the computer and pointing out who is the batsman and who is the pitcher and catcher, trying to explain the basics of baseball.
