March is coming to a close. My family has always been into sports, both as participants and as spectators. This month has been a busy one for spectating. We had March Madness watch party earlier this month. Coming up this week is our annual Home Opener watch party to mark the opening of Baseball Season! So there is a good reason that I almost forgot to post for the 12 Months of Photos challenge at WikiTree. The prompt this month is “Sports”.
For as long as I can remember, sports and games have been an important part of our family gatherings. Almost every gathering included a game of wiffle ball or croquet or a wallyball tournament in the pool. If we were stuck indoors due to the weather we played a game of charades or trivial pursuit.
The pictures below are of my Dad and his work buddy, Big John. They are playing an impromptu game of softball. My parents and Big John and his wife got together frequently to play pinochle. Meanwhile we kids played games or watched movies. We gathered often enough that when I was little, I thought Big John's kids were my cousins!
These particular pictures are from a Labor Day celebration at Beaver Dam State Park in Illinois. It was a park my family visited often when I was growing up.
