Tetherball King!

If tetherball was a team sport, Jack would be the captain! This boy has found a love and passion for the game. It's a first grade thing. They don't have it in Kinder, it's on the big kid playground.

Every recess
Every day
Without fail!

It's like there's nothing else on the playground to do! Forget about basketball, kickball, soccer, four square and the playground no less! And since our boy is not exactly into sports yet, it's kinda fun to run with it!

So when Grampy and Grammy asked for birthday ideas we knew just what to tell them. I had seen a tetherball kit at Costco, told them about his passion and they were all over it! They decided to give it to him early since they were here and so he could enjoy it all summer.

It had some assembly required so the kids got right in there to help! Of course! The base is filled with 3 bags of sand. Jack was beside himself, the anticipation was killing him!
The king is ready to take anyone and everyone on!
Grampy was his first victim!
Showing his mad skills! That boy hits the ball HARD!
Grammy even gave it a try :)
Then of course the minute daddy got home from work Jack was begging him to play! He didn't even let him change out of his work clothes.
Thank you G&G!
One very happy BOY!
