Kickball

The other day we were playing outside, and the kids had tired of riding bikes. Some friends had gone off to play baseball, but Lizzy wasn't too interested in that. I had a flashback from my youth of kickball. I used to love playing that game during P.E. I loved the anticipation of your kick, waiting for your turn in line, and oohing and aahing over the "big" kicks that almost hit the classroom windows. I thought we could give it a try. Pretty soon, just like bees to honey, we had a whole little crew waiting to kick. What fun we had! I'm pretty sure we weren't following the official rules, but everyone got the hang on kicking, and then running (whether they made it to the bases or not). It was adorable to see the little boys gather their courage, then inch their way to the "kicking spot." I'm looking forward to lots more kickball games to come as the weather improves.
