One of the greatest things about daylight savings time, and about living here, is the impromptu games that erupt in the evenings. Usually it's a bike and scooter rally in the cul de sac, but this day it was kick ball. The kids stay out a little later than normal, and the grownups stand around and chat. Fun times.
The girl in the black shirt has hit that golden age where she's nearly old enough to babysit, and enjoys supervising younger kids, but before she turns into a teenager with a social life. She led the kick ball game. It was very organized....they would sit down in line to kick (where the boy in blue is) and there are existing rules for pitching to and throwing at the little kids. Parker has NEVER shown any interest in playing, but this night, she tried it, and loved it. She kicked the ball and got on base many times. That's her in the drk blue dress under the tree (on 1st). Hopefully this will be one of many fun spring/summer evenings to follow.
