Pete was feeling a little sick today, so Sam and Dad walked over to the playground behind Andrew's house. It was quite a glorious day outside, and Pete had been out for several hours in the morning at his flag football game. They threw the football around for a while. The goal was to get 6 catches in a row, which was harder than you might think because after Dad caught the 5th one he seemed to give Sam a pretty tough throw to catch on the 6th one. When Sam caught the 5th one, he always seemed to suffer a "panic frenzy" or "calm attack" that was severely impacting the quality of his throw.
Sam threw a pass over a high tree that Dad was able to catch.
They went on the swings. Dad was giving Sam a safety lesson about never stand in front of someone swinging and talk to them. Unfortunately, he was trying to demonstrate this concept by standing directly in front of Sam, which was causing a number of brutal collisions and minor injuries to Dad.
There was a slide race, and then it was time to head back home. On the walk home, they reminisced about some other great Sam and Dad days from the past.
