FROM STICK BALL TO ICK BALL!

Inspired by our trip to Petco the kids all wanted to play ball this morning. As I glanced outside all I could think of is that "necessity is the mother of invention". In New York City, the kids played stick ball....in Rancho Bernardo they played "Ick Ball".

When you have one ball, four kids, one mitt, and one dog...you have the ability for "ickball". You simply use a very chewed rawhide bone for the bat. Yes, friends we have a winner!!



Jack was the umpire, coach, and star.


Julia was the Ickball version of the girls who walk around with the number of the Round in Boxing (do they still do this?)...she kept the score...and track of who's on first...
