Perfect Summer Evening

Last Friday night we didn't have anything planned for our Family Friday Night Activity. I had been pitching a tennis ball to the boys during the day for them to practice hitting with a bat and when Josh got home they were dying to play a REAL baseball game. So Josh set up a little field and the game began.

The light was beautiful and the evening seemed almost magical. The boys had so much fun playing baseball with Dad as I worked on a project and snapped pictures of them playing.
They took turns pitching, catching and hitting. Josh and I even took a turn. I don't want to brag or anything, but I totally got a homerun. You are pretty impressed right? :)
It was just perfect.
Josh the master took some turns as well showing the boys how it is done :)

There was a ton of silliness which made the night that much better.

Poor Hunter wrecked going down a dirt hill on his bike.  He took all of the skin off his nose doing it!
Lincoln pitching.


Sasha got to run all over with us too, which I think she loved.  We have a hay field by us and she is itching like crazy. She was rolling around the grass all night.

After we finished playing baseball, Josh suggested that we play "Anti-I-Over" (I have no idea how you spell it). It is where you have two teams one in front of the house one behind. One team throws a ball to the other team and if the other team catches it in the air (or with one bounce in our case) that team takes the ball and runs around the house to throw the ball at as many of the other team as possible. If you are hit by a ball you become part of the team that hit you. Sasha kept stealing the ball and running away with it, which always made us laugh as we chased her trying to get it back.  We played it for hours until it got dark and had a BLAST. I got sucked into the game and had the funnest time! We had such a fun night and made some wonderful memories. That is the best part of summer for me!
