Our baseball field

Every couple days Will says something that makes me really happy. Like Monday night, for instance, when we got home from watching a JV football game and he said "Daddy, let's play baseball!"

Sunday evening, we were having a fire in our backyard, using some scraps from the deck we built three years ago. Will said "Daddy, let's make a baseball field!" So we came up with this below. Will found special flat pieces to be the bases. He also suggested adding "base lines" that ran not on the perimeter of the diamond, but instead diagonally. Not sure if this is how Abner Doubleday drew it up. Notice in left field the Wood Monster, my special touch.
