To finish up our family week of festivities we had a kickball tournament. We took advantage of the park outside our back gate for our kickball diamond.  If you want hysterics a game of kickball with 12 kids ages 9 and under (average age is 4) is a good place to start.  It was a blast though.

The players take the field

Team captains, your first choice.

The rules are you must alternate between choosing an adult and a kid each choice.
Hmmm… Looks like the Dad’s are a favorite first pick…

The last choices- we’re so sad!

Team Lily picked first so they started in the outfield.

Team Ashley’s first kicker is a power house- go Cori!

And the pitch!

She made it safely to third base with her (hand holding) coach! Yay Cori!

Lilah’s turn to pitch!

Way to kick Grandma!!

Look at the form! Nicely done Katie!

Jake gets a running start on his ball

Waiting for the kick

Okay when the ball rolls here KICK it

Run that way!!

Eve’s turn to pitch, look at that approach

The form is beautiful!

Nice follow through

Oh look! A butterfly!

Time for a Popsicle break!

And a little hula hooping (angela won that contest)

I am now the sister arm wrestling champion of the family though.  Good to know huh?  I think I need  a trophy.
