The storytelling aspect of "kidult" is not our only interest in the topic. We happen to feel compelled to get out and play. We have a large family (5 boys) and large extended family. The family that plays together stays together, amiright?
This weekend is a kickball championship game. Neighborhood VS Neighborhood. The stakes are high (winning team brings home prize money to their neighborhood association!). Not only are we pulling together people in our neighborhood but somehow along the way, we have collected players from other neighborhoods. Perhaps these people love the playful energy we all bring (or they want to be on the winning team!).
In all seriousness, when our neighborhood association was approached to become a part of this project, we were inspired. Play bringing neighbors together? Of course, this is perfect. But we aren't filming any of this. We are participating purely for the fun of playing. Well, and the Salt&Straw ice-cream social after the final game.
