Happy 4th and 2nd Annual Family Tennis Invitational

Happy Birthday America and Happy 4th of July to you all! We woke up this morning to a very rainy day which made us all sad because today we had scheduled the 2nd Annual Family Tennis Invitational. We found out later that morning that my cousin rented the Camargo Raquet Club that have inside courts so the tournament could go on as planned. We had two different tournaments going on at the same time . . .a children's and an adult. My cousin's son Sam was the event organizer this year. He did a great job!
Warming up!

Let the games begin. Each "good" player was given a "not so good" player to play with to keep things even.
Steph and Andrew

Ward
Nice form Steph!
Watch that ball Andrew!
Way to go Andrew B.
All those years of playing raquetball helped Carlos out today.

My dad plays tennis six days a week but he recently had knee surgery so he has to take it easy.
Todd must of liked that shot.
Dad played Taylor K and they won their first set.

"I did my best!"

But Mari and Ward won the game.
Ashley and I didn't play this year due to the fact that there weren't enough adult players . . that's ok . . .it allowed me to take a lot of pictures and Ashley to catch up on some reading!
Andrew and Steph were knocked out.
Next year little Paisley will join us. She is due to be born in October.
We were all so happy you all could make it this year! We love you!

Steph received a call from St Louis where Nathan was playing in a baseball tourament. He ended up hitting in the winning run!
