Today, we had a cloudless sky and beautiful, dry (for Houston) weather. The girls spent most of the day outside. They have invented many games. But one game I "invented" with them is Cricket. The game we play is loosely (and I use "loosely" in the loosest possible manner) based upon the traditional game played throughout the Commonwealth. I am always the bowler. I bowl a large plastic playground ball down the pitch (our sideyard) where Abby attempts to hit it with a large plastic bat. She has gotten pretty good at wacking it. The goal is to hit it as far as you can. No score is kept, and we never change sides. When she hits it really hard, she and I just burst our laughing. What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon?
