One of the highlights of our Frio trip last year was finding that our house had it's own pool and volleyball court. The pool was great for the kids and the adults took ownership of the volleyball court. When we arrived at the house this year, we were quickly reminded of the severe drought as it seems that no one has taken the time to water our volleyball court. It was a dry barren field with a sagging net. No worries, Jason brought rope to rope off the court, Wes & Kyle fixed the net, and we took it upon ourselves to water the court. We later found a letter requesting water restrictions that included no extra outide watering. Oops! Once again, volleyball proved to be a hit for the young at heart. We started playing once the high temps would no longer fry eggs on the concrete and we played until we could no longer see the ball. Good times! I should also mention that on night 3 a rain storm came through and our volleyball court was a mud pit. Game night had to be taken inside.
Wes sawing out a stump in the middle of the court! Probably saved someone a trip to the emergency room.
Volleyball court preparation!
The young at heart pretending we are in high school again. You should have heard Jeremy's "ACE"cheer.
Game on.
Kids activities - Fuse beads and necklace/bracelet string.
Cousins building with magnetic blocks - glad we packed these for the trip!
There were a few intense games of Pictionary... guaranteed laughs.
Of course I would fail to get a picture of the game that gets the most attention at Maurer get togethers - Pitch. These card games can get intense and last until the wee hours of the morning.
