Matt, those do look fantastic! Very very nice!
As for kids messing with your strobes, I found the solution this weekend. I noticed a couple of kids getting "curious" so I kept my eye on them as much as aI could, well, sure enough, I see one looking all around and getting right up to my lights (flash guns, not strobes) so I waited until he was right in front of it then snapped a shot. Kid almost fell out of the bleachers. The mocking he took from his friends should be enough to keep him from coming back. Shortly afterwards, I noticed him looking down towards me (once he could see again) and I just shook my head at him and he figured it out that it wasn't an accident that the flashed fired right then.

That's funny. I'll have to remember that. I was shooting my son's game the other day. I was sitting on the floor near the corner of the court. My 2 year old was sitting on my left (away from the court). I was shooting in portrait with my 580EX II aimed at the ceiling. Well, my son leaned over and hit the * button. I was looking directly at the flash when he did it. He got a huge kick out of it. I would've hate to be looking at the flash gun when you fired that off. DUH!
