The Kids Getting their Sport on

Since we had a less eventful weekend, I will blog about the week and weekend prior.


Rowan was offered an amazing opportunity to participate in a Women and Girls National Sports Day, for girls 4th- 8th grade.  Here she is with her Dad just before meeting up with her phys. ed. teacher to go for the day the Saturday before last.


After dropping off Rowan, we all got ready as a family to take Merrick to his very first t-ball practice!  


Kierce and I played cards while watching Merrick and Dad play some ball!  Merrick was not looking forward to going to t-ball, but was so happy he decided to go when the practice came to a close.


After t-ball, we all went to the annual Ocean Beach Kite Festival for a little while before Kierce wanted to leave and let our mommy/daughter date begin!  We had a blast and ended our date at the beach to watch some huge kites fly in the sky!


Daddy and Merrick ended their date at the beach too with some kick ball!


Kierce and I couldn't get enough of our sport- cards!


Before we knew it, the time had come to pick Rowan up from her long day of sports.  She was able to try out all kinds of sports; soccer, karate, hip hop and more.  Her friend Seven went as well, and ended up staying to night.


On Sunday, Rowan, Seven and their friend Aideen played Gaelic football, an Irish sport similar to rugby.  Saturday, Aideen's Mom was kind enough to tell me about this free opportunity for kids of all ages.  They had an absolute blast and are looking forward to marching in the St. Patty's Day Parade this next weekend. 


When signing up Merrick for t-ball, I had the option to sign him up for basketball on Thursday afternoons as well.  Merrick was not looking forward to doing basketball at all this beautiful afternoon, he was certainly all smiles after it was over!  He had so much fun, and can't wait to do it again this Thursday!  This is beginning of many years of sports and activities of all kinds, and we are happy about that!
