Rhodes/Hastings Memorial Day Cookout & Games

Yesterday was a lot of fun. I had the day off work (my first 3 day weekend since starting the new job at Baylor in February), so it was great to have more time to relax!

Billy & Paula had the Hastings family over to their place to celebrate the day. We had delicious kabobs from the grill & lots of good food.

After the meal, many people got in the pool to deal with the humid, Texas heat.

Billy was very creative & had many fun pool games with prizes for the following events: relay race, holding your breath the longest underwater, basketball hoop shoot, canonball, head first dive. (I don't think I left any events out, did I?)
I believe that the overall winner for the majority of the events was Tyler, with David Roseberry being a close 2nd.

Everyone had lots of fun.

I got creative & made the dessert you see in the pictures. It was from the Taste of Home magazine & is called "wave your flag cheesecake." I had to take a picture because it actually looked like the picture in the magazine & I was excited about it.

Anyway, Happy Memorial Day to all!

We had a lot of fun with you and Kyle yesterday. I loved your dessert. Great pictures, but I don't see you in them. I am sure you are in Paula's pictures.

It's always a good time when the Rhodes and Hastings get together. Hope all went well with the house today.
