Recently we've taken to batting the fruit that comes off of the trees in the school's backyard. Don't worry, we're only batting stuff that is rotting or won't ripen. It all started when Ronni, Ernesto and Felipe shook the avocado tree to get the one that were ready down. Some of the smaller ones fell off at the same time. They wouldn't have ever ripened so we decided that the next best option was to pull out the baseball bat. Then we just started finding more and more stuff to bat. There are a lot of photos in this post...I hope you enjoy!
Ronni. He pitched most of the time for us but he's pretty good at the bat!
Ernesto!
Great hit, Lauren
Look at Felipe! In my untrained baseball-form eyes, he looks like a pro!
Love it! Can you see the avocado splattering all over! It's really quite fun to bat tiny avocados!
Clearly I'm not athletic! And it's so much worse because Ashley (above) and Kim (below) look excellent in their photos! Oh, well. This is not the first, nor the last, embarrassing picture that I will post of myself! Just to clarify, though, I did manage to hit the avocado!
Lovely form, Kim!
It's a hit!
This was quite funny as it actually splattered all over Miguel's face!
Desafortunadamente,
guanpan burns when it makes contact with your eyes. Who knew?!
The
guanpan is dying...
dead!
Riley's the only one I don't have a picture of actually hitting anything. Not saying he didn't break open a few
guanpan, my camera just didn't capture it. Sorry, Riles!
Ewww,
guanpan after being batted!
I can't remember what Jody hit. But it went flying, that's for sure!
Chepe hit baby coconuts
These were our fans...Profe Kim's class! They were learning about how to appropriately use their hands that day and we were providing a perfect example!
I actually hit it! And it really hurt!
I won't not want to be the coconut that Miguel's about to hit! Do you see the look in his eyes?!
That's right; Miguel broke the coconut!!
The bat. It's not slightly broken and really dirty!
