Luke, their son who will be a Senior in High School this coming school year, had baseball playoffs and we'd been wanting to go down and watch him play ball. It ended up being great timing!
We arrived Friday evening, dropped by the McGinnis home for a while and then headed over to the hotel (Dayne had also brought along Lauren, one of her BFFs). The next day Luke played ball at 10:00 so we headed over to the ball fields (it was brutally hot!) and did our best to enjoy family time while enjoying a little ball! Sadly, Luke's team lost ... but we were all winners because not only did we get to spend time together but we then went on to enjoy a really good lunch at a local eatery in Joplin.
After lunch we headed back to the hotel so the girls could do a little swimming. After all, what's a hotel visit without a swim in the pool? Shortly after 6:00 we headed back over to the McGinnis' for dinner (grilled chops and yummy pototato bake!) and enjoy more time with Rocky & Mindy!Luke had another game on Sunday afternoon that didn't go much better than the Saturday game, but ... some years that's just how it goes I guess! After the game we headed for home and got settled in and ready for another work week!
