So my daughter comes home yesterday after going to Gulf Place to play baseball with her friends and tells me "Mom, we ended up playing kickball when these really nice people showed up that play kickball every Sunday. They asked us if we wanted to play with them or if they should play in another area. We said we wanted to play and they were really nice to us. One of them was the guy from the Rep that we always see going into the second building at school. Some of them were kind of drunk and it was really funny to watch them try and kick the ball. " I listened to all this with a smile on my face and told her that there was a group from "that message board" that I read that plays over there. Thank you all for including the kids in your game and being so welcoming. They had a blast and kept us entertained with the descriptions of you all playing. You'll probably see them again!

lol. That is funny. I'm wondering which of the three girls is yours. One actually played, and the other two were permanent outfielders for both teams, and they stayed about one foot away from each other as they giggled and gossiped. We tried to keep down the profanities, and while several people had a beer or two, I'm not sure that anyone was "drunk." They were probably referring to the person who is just one of those jolly people who is the life of the party, even when there is no party.
We've debated allowing kids to play kickball with us in the past. My personal take is that if they are willing to put up with people drinking and cussing, they'll be fine. However, there is some point when a kid is too small and is likely to get hurt, because when you are playing kickball, it is easy to get lost in the moment and hurl the ball at whomever the runner happens to be. OUCH! I think the kids who were playing with us yesterday seem tough enough to hang with us. Glad to have them play! Seemed like really good people.

My daughter was one of the blondes (the other was D&K's daughter) in the outfield. Her best friend (very athletic) apparently participated more. They can all handle themselves and know when to bow out. I think they just enjoyed seeing you all have a great time, get included, and not be serious about a game.

it was fun to have them! and there was drinking, but i think some of us (mainly myself) are just so bad that people would want to assume that we are drunk 
.
what got the most attention was the squabble going on in the parking lot. those two might have been a wee bit intoxicated and caused quite the scene. they were NOT part of the kickball crew.

Hey, this is Kristy "one of the permanent outfielders" it was really fun playing with ya'll...me and Kalie the other outfielder are not as athletic (if you couldn't tell) as Alex... i talked t o my teacher which lives in the condos next to the fighting couple who was out on her balcony at the time of the fight and she has had the couple over for dinner. of course she only invited the boyfriend because she knows the girlfriend does not cook for him. anyway she says she is rude to him and apparently from we saw and heard not soooo kind o him...lol
thanks for letting us play and we probably plan on seeing you next weekend!!!
Edit from SGB: That's my daughter above. Oh, no, she's been sucked into the SoWal vortex!

I don't even live there but I bet I know exactly who this is. ;-)
Which field does Softball play on. My daughter has come out on her landing every Sunday and said that is looks like just 4 or 5 out there, not a game?
