As part of their move to the US the boys have taken to American sports. They still love their soccer but they are also partial to some American football and baseball. Part of the fun of long summer holidays is going along to various sporting camps and their first of the summer was a baseball camp.
It was based at Robinswood park, not far from home, and they loved it! The final day of the camp was on July 4th which meant that I could go along and see whether they really were both as good as they told me they were!
As it turns out they were pretty good! I would say they are natural sports stars but then I guess I am a bit biased! Here is Toby running home from third base to give his team the lead:
Harry was the all action fielder who ran wherever the ball went!
Speedster Toby running from second base to third – he made it!
Here’s Harry making the same run – from second to third base:
The game they played, with both on the same team, ended as a draw. There were some great contributions from both. This first clip is Toby on strike with his brother on third base. Could Toby hit it and get his brother round for the run??

We’re not sure what the next camp will be yet but baseball was a definite hit, in more ways than one!
