Yard Games

I have no doubt that Sloan is Michael's daughter, besides the obvious reason (sex). She has so many qualities, quirks, faces, interests etc. that Michael does-- it is bizarre. Yesterday we were in the backyard enjoying the weather and Sloan proved once again she is definitely Michael's daughter.

If you have every been to our house you know that we, namely Michael, love to play games- especially yard games. Any kind of yard game...as long as it is a game in a yard. It can be a real game like bocce ball, croquet, football or it can be a made up game (in true Covington fashion) like "Who-ever-throws-the-Croquet-ball-through-the-2nd-and-3rd-tree-against-that-fence-line-and-it-doesn't-bounce-back-pass-the-hammock-wins"game.

So yesterday Sloan proved that she loves yard games just like her Daddy.

Sloan is setting up the Croquet Court, mentally preparing for a tough game!

Exhausted after a defeating game. Daddy shows no mercy... he allows no handicaps for babies.

The come back! Sloan beats Michael in an intense game of Corn Hole!

And lastly a quick game of football!

There will be many days filled with yard games in Sloan's life. But, Sloan will know the true pleasure of yard games once she is able to have the perfect companion to go with them, a nice cold beer. :)
