The invention of Super Stick Ball!!

So we went to Kat's reunion thing today. It was actually more fun than I expected. Jen and I took some pics of us with our heads in a lion's mouth and touching something we were not suppose to. I am sure Kat will post the pics of these in her blog, so please check them out there. Besides the trips to the river, Jen and I went exploring, and the random conversations we had with people there, we invented Super Stick Ball. During one of the few dull moments Jen and I decided to walk over to the tennis courts. We grabbed the Superman ball from her trunk, and I broke a large stick into two littler sticks. By the time we got to the courts the game had not been invented. We had to start playing and made the rules up as we went, as any good sporting inventors would. The rules are simple. You must hit the ball over the net with the stick. As long as the ball stays in-bounds, you must go after it and try to hit it back. If the ball hits the net and is still bouncing, you may hit the ball with the stick, then over the net. If the ball travels out of bounds, your opponent gains a point. If the ball travels over to another court, you use that court until the ball travels again. So this way you could use all three courts. To serve the ball, which goes to whoever has it, you bounce it first and then hit it. If playing doubles or triples, you can either have all people on one court, or spread out over the courts. In this case as long as the ball does not hit the red "out of bounds" area, you can chase it all over the place.
Jen is currently winning 15-13. No, I was not trying to lose, Jen just serves well by having the ball bounce once in bounds and then out. Oh, that reminds me of another rule. If you hit the ball in the air as it is traveling out of bounds to the green in bounds area and it continues to bounce, you can run after it to hit it over the net.
So it was a fun day. I had Jen bring me home early to watch the last 3 mins of the Cowboys game. I was hoping it would be half time, but I guess the station it was on (124) did not have commercials. They won!! 13-3.
Mom brought over a bed frame she found for 5 bucks for us. I set it up before Kat got home. So now we are not sleeping on the floor!! Love my Mom. I just sat down from setting the bed up when Kat arrived. Good timing.
This evening I went to get Sarah so we could visit Chris. I was telling them about Super Stick Ball. They want to play sometime. Found challengers Jen!! I went to take Sarah home and we were talking inside when Sarah suddenly stops, looked at me and said "Go outside, NOW!" I had left the car running and we were just looking out the window at the lights. I flew out, ran around the corner to go down the stairs, and saw........NOTHING. We are then trying to look in the car, checking the back seat and all. Course it is dark and we can't see a thing. I start down the steps and Sarah reminds me to stay away from the doors, just in case there is someone in there. I creep up on the side near the back door to open it, turning on the light. NOTHING AGAIN. But it was creepy and fun.
So that was my day. Lots of excitement and fun. I get to work tommrrow. I look forward to going to bed, above the floor.
