Pitching, hitting and being the umpire.
Did you notice the bike helmet being used as the umpire mask? Camryn can probably only see half the pitches but apparently safety comes first for her.
After watching this for a couple days and many balls being hit to neighbors backyard(one by me),I figured it was time to go old school and play some wiffleball in the street.
Living right next to a high school, the kids rarely play in the street. This was a huge treat for them. We made bases in the street. We used the rules I grew up with(modified where needed). You get 5 pitches only( hit one or you're out), fly ball to neighbors grass across the street is an automatic out, ball rolls under car runner advances only one base, and you can peg out (throw the ball at)anyone 15 or over. Most important, if the other team has been up a really long time with only 1 out and Drew hits the ball on the neighbors porch across the street, it is an automatic 2 outs and 1 more when they are up next.We played for well over 2 hours and had a great time. A few of us were a little sore the next morning.
The cheerleaders
The fans
These two got confused and thought we were playing gutter ball
The Awesome Teams
And of course, the game ended in a tie.

anyways i love the pics and captions...and as always peyton looks adorable in the "cheerleader" pic with her twin devyn!
one question: why did your team have 4 ppl and the other team had like 500 more ppl than yours? is it because you and amy are so much better than gian and drew and they needed more help? yup i knew that was it=) hehehehe
How fun. Tiff, you look like you got a little sun. How are the belly dancing classes going?

Sounds so much fun. I bet the kids loved every minute of it.
How fun. I wish we could play stick ball on Broadway and hit a ball through Gallagher's (Irish Pub) windows!
I wanna play! I haven't played in the street since I was like 10 years old!!!! How fun!
