From 2010 post "Surviving the 4th" From 2010 ... ""My favorite moment was playing catch with my niece. We had one of those generic plastic pool balls from Giant Eagle (yes, I am the master of last minute picnic purchases). Like most kids, she tried to catch with flat arms and usually smacked herself in the face with the ball rather than actual catching it. I showed her how to use her fingers/hands and she was incredibly proud to catch 21 in a row (and count to 21). We high fived so much, my hands were sore. Even the misses were fun! Watching a child master something new is pretty amazing." #4thofjuly #fourthofjuly #independenceday #gatewayclipper #family #aunting #nibling https://www.instagram.com/p/CCOT-htgq3U/?igshid=jvh4f99c8to6
