O is for Obesity

This time, I'm not referring to my own obesity!  Yesterday, the SSMA (Student Sports Medicine Association--of which Birdie is VP- had to throw that in) sponsored a Kickball Tournament to raise money for the prevention of childhood obesity!  It was HOT out in the sun but they had plenty of sunscreen and water on hand.  Hubs and I went out to get a few pictures and left just before we melted completely away!  Here are some shots from the day: 

Sometimes those college boys go all out, don't they? 

Girls can kick just as good as boys!

The other team for the first game.

Dr. Nguyen (pronounced win)

Talk about going all out!

Oops!  Now, that would have been me out there...LOL

That's my Birdie!

That's my Birdie about to 'sports medicine' someone.  Oh, and Dr. Nguyen's grill.

Great kick Nathan!  Too bad you were OUT.

That's my Birdie telling the dude, "Dude, you need stitches."  And him telling Birdie, "I don't want stitches." And then there's Dr. Nguyen's grill.

Like I said, some college boys go all out.  LOL

Some Athletic Training students...

An assortment of college students...

"If I bite this thing just right, I'll be FREE!  And then I'll show you how to do it!"




Athletic Training majors ROCK!

"GoodgameGoodgameGoodgameGoodgameGoodgameGoodgameGoodgameGoodgameGoodgame" the AT's WON Game #1!  WOOT!!!

Dr. Nguyen fixin' up that dude's ear as Birdie stands by to assist.  


This is the 15th day of the A-Z Blog Challenge for the month of April. And this thing is getting harder instead of easier...thankfully, we're in the second half!  Just click the badge on my sidebar if you want to check it out!

  4. Great photos! But I think the one of the two dogs is the cutest of all. :-) I've had a couple leads I've had to re-sew!

    Hope you have a successful week. I'm taking all sugar out of the house today.

  5. Judy- I like that one too BUT, can you believe it, I forgot to take a picture of Tucker and Birdie's two dogs? I felt terrible!

    I am still off the sugar. I'm on day 33 of Ass Off and I know I've lost. However, I'm not sure how much because I forgot to weigh in the first couple of weeks--so, I have no idea of my start weight.

    How's that saying go---all of the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most? LOL

  10. That looks like hot fun! But what is kickball - or is it just, like, kicking a ball? :O)

  11. You got some really great action shots! Good for them - always nice to see young people playing together for a cause.

  12. Jane- LOL! Kickball is kind of like baseball but with a big rubber ball that is rolled to the kicker...the kicker has to run the bases before getting tagged out. It's basically a game played on elementary school playgrounds! LOL

    Stephanie-Thanks! Yes, I agree!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yeah - but the thing about all that athletic and sports stuff is you have to go outside!! And I don't really go outside - unless I've got no other option - like to get in the car - or go into a store. Stuff like that!!

    You took some really great pictures!

  14. Donna-So true! I prefer inside as well- my allergies are just horrible and I am not a fan of heat. But, sometimes, it's the only way I can get pictures of this daughter! LOL

    Clare-Thanks! They raised money and had fun!

  19. Super....great collection of all the action. And for such a good cause. But, I must be honest...I'm in awe of the muscular legs of that gal kicking near the top of your post...no, no gay tendencies here....just jealous of 'young' looking legs. :sigh:

    My Tuesday Post:

    A new Cat
