Land of Ahhhhs -- Kansas! Day 3

Our final day of our Kansas Visit was spent doing more family things and just relaxing.  On Saturday night we had our family pictures taken (albeit an hour early due to severe thunderstorms rolling through the area) and just hung out inside because it was so gusty.  Sunday morning we woke up and the weather was beautiful -- although it did hit 90 degrees later in the day.  It was time for Game 2 of the Annual Edmonson Grudge Match.  Same teams as on Saturday, and with similar results.  The girls won!!

Here Rhett is stretching out for Edmonson Grudge Match Game 2.  It is funny how kids can not stretch at all and then just go full throttle!  Enjoy it while you can Rhett!



Here he is in action...serve motion looks good, he just needs to get a little more clearance over the net. 


Da-Da returning a serve.  You'll notice that Da-Da never keeps his feet on the ground.  Hmm, I wonder where Rhett got this habit.  :)


Rhett in on some net action.


Maisie whacking a serve!  Look at that LEFTY! 


Kristina smacking a return.  Boy, she loves her forehand!


Kristina looked like she had a good time!


After we got back from tennis, Grandma Louise and Grandpa George had arrived.  Next up on the agenda was fence golf.  And again, the competitiveness comes out!

Da-Da, Stephanie, Maisie, and Rhett were familiar with fence golf, but the rest of us had to get caught up.  It was pretty easy though -- however, the scoring was a little more involved than I would have guessed.  But never fear, it was all good.  We had a great time playing.

Grandma Louise getting in the action.  She was on a team with Grandpa Flipe.


Look at Grandma Louise's face in this picture.


Now look at Rhett's face in this picture...notice any similarities!


It is all serious over here with Grandpa Flipe...look at that concentration.


And that expression!


And now let the expert show you how it is done!


Rhett and Da-Da won that match up, but Grandma and Grandpa didn't do too badly.

Next round was Maisie and Aunt Kristina against Da-Da and Rhett.


Rhett must be in trouble in this one...he looks like Grandpa Flipe!


Aunt Kristina getting serious...note that she is still in her tennis attire minus her tennis shoes!


Maisie kicked some serious you know what in this game.  She and Kristina ended up winning this round!


Of course Uncle Jared had to get in the mix...look at that concentration!



Of course the dogs had to get their pictures added to the blog...

Riley hanging out in the shade.


Mesa and Dulee catching a cool breeze or the scent of something...you make the call!


And of course, fence golf was follow-ed up with some badminton!  Same cast of characters, just different "weapons".  :)







And of course, how could we resist more dog pictures!



Wow, that was a full day!  And don't we look like we had a good time...
