Kickball

Friends from Rockford recently invited our family and 3 couples from their church up to their house for a potluck meal and game of kickball.

Christen was in charge of the kitchen since her mom had injured her knee the night before playing (of all things!) kickball.

Jason and Andrew

Visiting while we waited for everyone to arrive.

We all felt really bad for Mrs. Stacy. She is quite the kickball player, but she had to be side-lined for the big game.

Aww...holding hands!

Time to eat!

Are you going to play with Scooby Doo ball, Mel?

We had some serious players; they all stretched and warmed up before we began!

Mom was one of the onlookers, and she did a good job taking pictures and cheering for everyone.

It was quite windy that afternoon.

Mel played 3rd base for a while.

Go get it, Nicole!

He made it home!

Dad

Sliding into second. I was safe!

Lydia was a good pitcher.

Catch it, Mel!

It looks like Jason has a ball for a head.

Running for home.

Jason, are you not getting any action out there?

Actually he was waiting for the foul ball to be retrieved, so he really wasn't slacking. ;-)

The whole group. As you can tell from the grass-stained jeans, some of us played harder than others. ;-)

Andrew must not have been tired because as soon as we got back to the house, he wanted to play "Elimination". Not many took him up on that. Only the younger ones! The rest of us were too tired and sore!

I don't know how they had the energy for it!

Now that's more like it--time for dessert!

It was a fun day!
