Fun at the Park--Ladderball & Bocce

7 Oct 09
The weather has been so nice the last two weeks. The temperature finally dropped below 100 degrees here in Vegas. It has even had a nice little breeze in the morning and evenings. I LOVE it!!! Consequently, we decided to go have fun at the park again. This time we took our Ladderball. The teams: myself and Brandon VS Gabriel and Dad.

Brandon preparing himself more ways than one. ;)
Dad concentrating hard to get points for his team.
Gabriel was listening to his Ipod while playing.
I was psyching myself up, because we had a close game! I think Brandon was praying for a winning shot.
It didn't phase my hubby, though. He was focused.
Gabriel couldn't resist harrassing me.
Some last minute smack talk...going down to the last throws.
Which team is going to win?
I guess that answers that question!
LOL! Gabriel was still listening to his music, so he didn't celebrate too much.
I think Brandon is wishing he had a different partner. =)
Although, after we got beat twice...We came back and won twice ourselves.
YES!!!
Dad did NOT like that at all!!! LOL!!!
Noah protested and demanded he have a turn!
Noah is always trying to be close to Kela. He is so sweet to her, even if she pushes him away most of the time.
Kela was getting attention in all sorts of ways.
NEXT: We moved on to Bocce with the same teams.
The boys preparing for a serious competition.
Noah joined Dad and Gabriel's team.
What kind of skills do you have?
Come on, Brandon. Get 'em!!!
Don't let Dad get closer than you.
That's right...bring the balls back for another round.
Hmmm...What 'cha got?
Brandon, can we take them? We're ahead by one, going into the last round...
Those look like celebration faces...yeah, I belive they are. Brandon and I couldn't pull it out.
Actually, Noah won the game for them...go figure! He is a little stud!
After our Bocce game, we went back to play one more round of Ladderball to have a clear winner, since we were 2-2. Sadly, we walked away losers. I must say that was my fault. I couldn't get it together at the end. Urgghhh!!! Next time, Brandon, next time!!!

You can tell how close your family is: y'all are always having a fun time together! I've never heard of Ladderball.

I can't get over how fast your kids are growing up! Especially Gabriel and Noah!
