Jackson's First Kickball Match

Jackson and his buddies started up Kickball yesterday and boy what a treat it was to see them play!! Mind you with no practices before, they were all just thrown cold turkey into their teams, they sure did learn fast. After a couple of times running all over the place and throwing the ball to the wrong team, by the end of the game they had a pretty good handle on the sport. That and the fact that parents finally sat at each base and told each kid where to go to after another kid kicked!! It was great fun, especially since we had our Memere and Pepere there to cheer Jackson on as well. What a great Family Home Evening Night it ended up being!! Way to go ORANGE TEAM!!

Jackson and his Team. They sure bonded fast since they had to learn the sport and build camaraderie all in one night!!

Jackson just hanging out in outfield. This is literally all they did when they were out there. The concept of defensive play was not on their minds:)

Jackson's first kick. Look at his form, ain't it grand!! His ball actually did go really far, we were quite proud.

Jackson running to home plate!! He ran his little heart out yesterday night:)
