One of my favorite things this summer was watching the kids play a game of neighborhood pick-up soccer this evening. Trav instigated it, but the kids jumped right in and played for 45 minutes, till it was practically dark. They had a blast.
These are kids we've seen around the neighborhood and said "bonjour" to often, but never really 'hung-out' with. Finally, tonight, we were all outside at the same time. We started a game and the limited use of French by our kids and English by them, made for a lot of fun. At one point Rock and another boy had a pretty serious collision and hit the ground - within a second, both heads popped up and they asked, at the same time, "Ca va?". Nodded yes and hopped up to continue the game.
I love the universal sport of Play.
