These 6 kids didn’t come from nowhere! Marcia and I started this party 12 years ago yesterday. So how, do you wonder, did we spend our 12th anniversary? Why, on a field of course!

In the 90+ degree heat, we took all 6 kids to the local high school’s turf field. We played soccer, lacrosse and field hockey. We brought a radio and cranked the tunes. And then we ran field hockey evaluations.

I don’t know if that actually beats me taking Marcia out for a nice date. That would have been really nice too. But we had a good day as a family, and we really enjoyed each other’s company.
