Last night we all trooped over to the park across the street from their house.
In the dark.
To play Hide and Go Seek.
Five Adults, five teenagers, and a hopped up six year old.
Eldest nephew showed up in a ghillie suit...
I wish Big O had been with us. He's off wrestling at the State tournament...
I swear I have not run that fast before.
EVER.
Little O, who minces down the baselines and swears it's her top speed, discovered how to use her full stride as she "helped" whomever was It. We made her carry a light stick to keep from being mowed down on the stampede to base. It was still a narrow thing. She wasn't understanding that an adult running at full speed can't come to a complete stop just because they crossed the line, so please sit down on the wall. I almost pulled a Matrix/Jedi mid-air flip trying not to knock my own kid down.
I'm not down for football where my lack of co-ordination will let down my team, but hide and go seek? I'm totally in.
