Kickin' it in Florence ...

We've arrived. The Russell's have officially entered the world of kids sports.
This spring Ian joined the local Kickball League for 3-6 yr olds. 6 weeks of games and some weeks they were "double-headers" a tall order for teams made up mostly of 3-4 yr olds. ha...ha. The first week their team had two games and it was not unusual to find the kids leaving the dugout to find familiar faces on the bleachers. At one point there was a group of 4-5 running a circle around the pitchers mound.
The season is now over, but here are some of my fav pictures of this little adventure.

Ian with his good friend Nikki focused solely on their defence ... yeah, right. I guess they figure if kickball doesn't work out they're headed for "So You Think You Can Dance".

You have some great pictures on your blog! Your family pics on the side bar are fantastic!

The 'sporting' looks amusing, healthy, and fun! I can't believe Ian is grown up so much!

Florence looks beautiful! I so want to join you there!
