Picklers

Our friends, Stephanie and Keith James have the best parties and are the best entertainers ever! They hosted their annual Pickle ball Tournament last weekend. They have a court in their back yard. They put our names in a hat and pair us up, but you can't be matched with your spouse. Brayden, Keegan and Cameron warming up the court for the "grown-ups."

My hubs and Angela were matched up as a team, they did quite well!

Dani and Ellie found the lady with the otter pops, poor lady didn't know there were four more kids right behind them, damn Phillips clan!

Ellie jumping with eight boys, should I start worrying now? She is the only wild girl brave enough to be in that cage....

Amy and Kelly, Kelly has the moves!

Sarah and Jason, this is them playing against Keith and me, sadly we whooped them, and they were eliminated!

Me showing Keith my skills, I tried to contribute and not let Keith down...we did well, although we got knocked out in the semi-finals... (I don't think Keith brought his game). I am going to blame our loss on him. :)

Keith even had minute to win it games planned for the kids. How cool is he? Although, his kids are older than ours and a little taller too. He wrapped a yo-you around their waist and then they had to spin in a circle and knock the cans off the table. Do you see how high the table is compared to Ellie's waist? Keith stepped in and helped her out after she was so dizzy she could barely stand. It was entertaining!

This picture does NOT do Ellie justice. She was so grubby and dirty. She played in a dirt pile, jumped on the tramp, went down the water slide/bounce house and blew snot out of her nose. Yes, she was one of those grubby kids that you didn't want to look at or be near. Luckily most of the other kids there looked a lot like her. We pretty much stripped all of our kids down to underwear/panties/ or diaper (as the case may be for one of ours) and loaded them in the mini-van to head home and then hosed them down!

Dani's turn!

Thanks for a fun day James', we all had a great time!
