4th of July Picnic ~ Badminton Tournament

Here’s some pictures from our church’s 4th of July Badminton Tournament.  We had 14 teams this year and played single elimination because it last all afternoon. 

Rob and I have been partners each year since we have been a part of Trinity.  Some years I’m pregnant and some years I’m not.  Some years we have won the tournament, played really well together, and some years not so much.  I play much more aggressive when I’m not pregnant so this year it was on!

Let the games begin!!!

Cade and Ian were a team again this year.  Unfortunately, they didn’t make it very far:(

Dennis and Tate were a team.  They did pretty good.  My Tate didn’t let Dennis down at all.

Here’s the last two teams fixing to play for the championship:

Rob and I against Carlo and Melody.

I knew this was going to be a good game because you had two competitive ladies playing against each other!

It was a great game.  Both teams played tough.  They were ahead then we were a head.  We kept the lead until right at the end until they beat us…21 – 19!

Congratulations Melody and Carlo!!!

You would have won if you were on the other side! The wind killed most teams on your side...I was watching!

Trinity is so dear to our hearts as well. True family...sure miss you guys! :(

And what's up with that picture of me? I look mad...I guess that's when I was feeling weak from heat exhaustion...
