Dodged

Darby was invited to a birthday party at Maximum Dodgeball this evening. Man, talk about a parent on the edge. I couldn't leave the court area. Most of the time it was girls against boys, and the boys significantly outnumbered the girls. AND, the boys were not holding back in their ball-velocity.

It was a lot of fun in the end, but Darby did get hurt a little. At one point she got stepped-on, which made her fall, and then a bunch of other kids tripped over her. She had to have an ice pack on her head for a bit, and it looked like she'd have a black eye for a minute there, though it looks to be clearing up okay now. I'm a little bit surprised they don't have the kids where helmets at a place like that.

If you're into beaming people in the head with a "gator skin" ball, they have adult leagues, too.
