Kickball in Sowal

[steele mama]

It's amazing what happens when you import ringers from out of state. It was a Cinderella story.
So glad the Mountainfilm celebs had such a great time! First time I've ever played kickball with a rooster fish expert.

Are y'all home safe and sound?

[peapod1980]

Are y'all home safe and sound?

Yes. Glad to be safe, not so glad to be home.

They import me when they want to make the other team feel better about their kickball skillz...

so much for kickball today...although, we could probably swim on the field today.

[NoHall]

NOOOOOOO!

The field is a little bit, um, puddly...

Is there no high ground around here?

[Mango]

[scrltbegonya]

y'all have at it - play at butler. i'm going to my cousin's wedding at 4:30...

[bluemtnrunner]

I wanna play! Our family played on Christmas Eve at Butler and had a blast. My brother, sister and I all suffered various pulls and strains in our kicking (or planting) legs, we decided we all need more of this full body workout. It is much better than weight training and running.

[scrltbegonya]

alright, kiddos...holidays are over. my vacation is over. it is game time. see you on sunday.

[Miss Kitty]

MARCH 2! I'm sticking around and getting back to Georgia late that night just so I can play kickball with you people!

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!

[Smiling JOe]

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.

[SGB]

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.

[scrltbegonya]

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.

[scrltbegonya]

hooray! tiara?

[SGB]

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?

[Smiling JOe]

Minnie, we don't play softball.

Kristy, you and Kalie jump in whenever you are ready. If you want to play a little outfield until you feel froggish enough to kick and run the bases, do just that. However, when you are ready for the full thing, just let us know and kick away.

[bluemtnrunner]

Are there regular games (meaning at a certain time and place, not like regulation games with hard core competitors) that a person, say a blue mountain runner, could join in?

HI SGB! Kalie never told me about this....had to hear it from a friend. Yes...those girls have been playing baseball, tag, soccer and much more on that field for the past four years. We lived in those townhomes for 3 years and I was able to keep an eye on them. Usually there are about 20 kids out there playing....but they're all getting older and doing different things. We called that field "The Greens" and I still feel safe and secure with the girls playing at The Greens!!!!

Thank you all for asking them if they wanted to join you! I know Alex will play as hard as any adult.....as for Kristy and Kalie, well I think they will like the outfield for a while. I can't imagine them hearing anything worse then they hear on TV or at school.

I'm glad to know that Ms. Sharon, a Seaside teacher, has taken over my job now...watching from the deck. She also works part time for us at the cafe as a hostess some nights. She's wonderful!

Enjoy The Greens!!!

Hi Kat!
We love Ms. Sharon and how great she is with the kids. Alex's mom was also nearby with her youngest playing on the green. Wish we lived a little closer to you all!

Ya'll be careful out there. I hear that someone installed a flagpole on the playing field. lol.

[NoHall]

Jerks. Have they no respect for athletic events?

[Smiling JOe]

Well, to be fair, I think it was installed several years ago.

You sure it is not a wayfinding sign to first base?

[NoHall]

Well, to be fair, I think it was installed several years ago.

why didn'tcha say so? last time I was there, the field was under water, so I wasn't sure...

You sure it is not a wayfinding sign to first base?

too drunk to notice...
