Lake Blaine Kickball

For those of you who don't know what Lake Blaine Kickball is, well, I am sorry for you! It is possibly the funnest way to play kickball ever invented! LBK works this way: there are 4 bases and a pitcher. Everyone else is outfield. The person up to "bat", kicks the ball as hard as they can and runs around the bases. You get points for each base you touch and you can get out if the outfielders hit you with the ball or touch home plate. It is a fun way to play and even slow runners (like me) can usually make one point! In our backyard, the trees took quite a beating. We had several time outs when you had to climb the tree to get the ball.
We had company this night - Lance and Caleb Mennen came over for dinner. Caleb caught on pretty quick to the game, for that matter, so did Lance - but then, he is a youth pastor!

Going for home plate! I think the ball is in the tree!

Negotiating the rules. Kristine was designated pitcher...she didn't want to run.

And here's the reason why! Too much baby...
It is really cool to watch your child have a child. I have said that before, but it is a funny feeling!
Can't wait to meet the little bugger!

Got to try this game :)! FUN! So glad you have some time with Christine and Thomas!! We've been praying for them lately. She's SO cute. These pictures show "more baby" than the hiking to the statue shots! So grateful God is blessing them with this little life!!!
