Gophers and kickball

We have gophers. Big ones, the two legged kind. Had 6 of 'em today. 2 of ours, 2 nephews, and 2 boys from church. I'm glad we limited them to under the trampoline, somebody might break a leg. Had to make sure nobody was jumping while they were digging. Can you say headache? Last time our nephews left I spent hours filling in holes. 4 boys can really dig but 6 today, WOW! They're a lot of fun. By the end of the day Amanda was tired but good times. We're glad we get to have the boys for spring break. They planted my garden for me Sunday afternoon, we have some great video game tournaments in the evenings, lots of wrestling. It rocks! Chad, the oldest nephew, just walked up and said they had 13 holes and 20 interconnecting tunnels. Impressive.

Tonight we met a bunch of people from church at a Mexican food joint then we all went to Austin's Colony park and had a game of kickball. Regulation kickball, brand new bases. Precisely spaced bases and pitcher's mound (at least as precise as we could step them off). Then we picked teams. It became husband's against wives, parents against children. As our buddy Matt said, it was biblical. My team won. Amanda's team lost. She said the teams were unfair. Patrick picked everyone on Amanda's team. Heather picked ours. Does that mean that Heather is a better coach than Patrick? Hmmm.
That's both teams, or what was left by the time the game was over. Heather's camera is better than ours so go check her blog. She'll probably have pictures up soon. The Garner zoo +2 is down bottom right. See the shadows? Yeah, that's us!
