One of the best things we did as a team was go to bat-packs. Kids will still "store" a bunch of crap in there, but only about half that a regular ball bag will hold.
Too funny. DD's bag was so heavy last week that it took both of my arms to throw it in the back of the truck... Same scenario here. tons and tons of water bottles. She was complaining that the fence hooks had broken off, once I grabbed her bag it made sense!
just bought her a new cobra xl max ball bag... it can hold even more. Im thinking that was a mistake! LOL
She told me she had 15 bottles in her bag. I said, now many had liquid in them. She looks at me like I just asked the dumbest questions ever. "I toss them out when I empty them".
I won't get near my eldest's bat bag. I'm sure there are water and Gatorade bottles in there. I know not to look since her backpack incident a few years ago, when she was still in HS. At the end of the summer, she cleaned out the stuff in her backpack from the prior school year - and found a chocolate milk in there.
