Jesse’s issue, and mine as well, is the game she invented. I go out front to grill some dinner. She finds a ball, runs to the front gate, and throws the ball as best she can through the gate, so it bounces down the steps.
She retreats a couple steps while I turn away from the grill, grab the ball before it rolls under the car or the golf cart, and throw it back to her up on the deck.
She retrieves the ball and throws it back down the steps. Sometimes I throw it all the way past the deck and into the back yard to buy myself more time between rounds. It’s an endurance challenge for each of us. She can play this game for as long as I can grill.
