First it was Heely's the kids all HAD to have. Now every kid in the Fortress Compound is running out to purchase a glove to play softball with
Brad from #11!
It started with a visit from Michelle Smith, a gold medal olympian from the US Women's Softball team. She came to visit Abu Dhabi Women's college. Brad brought home some equipment to toss around with the kids and suddenly softball was the new RAGE.
All the kids are getting really good at hitting and fielding.
It was so great the other evening to see all the kids and Brad behind our neighborhood mosque playing softball. At the other end of the parking lot there was a group of Arab boys playing cricket. It wasn't long before the call to prayer came and men from the neighborhood were coming out to pray. I loved the contrasts. The sounds of the Muezzin calling to prayer, the kids from all different countries playing together, laughing and screaming, running and bumping. In the center of all of it, Dr. Hotpants, Father of the Year, Cool Dad of the Compound, Big Bad Brad!

What fun to see the Cook kids swingin' bats and hittin' balls. Hey--one thing to look forward to in Cedar--lots of ball diamonds and grass, grass, grass!
I agree with Sarah---we want more updates!
