Back to the Here and Now

Back to life, back to reality, back to the here and now. 
The boys get some baseball coaching in, S batting and G pitching.  This is the same facility, the Chad Moeller Batting Cages in Scottsdale AZ, that Tim Tebow trained.  But I think the boys will do better than Tim.  S started slow, then he was killing it using his new Combat stick.  G's first lessons at pitching, coach Evan thinks he did really well for a first time, has a good arm.
