I bought Audrey a plastic ball while in Arkansas b/c my parents have a HUGE backyard and it would allow her to wear herself out while she was having a ball! (pun intended). She called it her soccer ball and she loved kicking it, throwing and sitting on it. The two days it rained were tragic for her b/c she could see the ball, but not play with it. Enjoy the pictures of Audrey and Grandpa playing soccer! (I didn't add comments..... you can figure it out).
