Starburst 2011

Starburst Junior Golf Tournament.  The last one as the honorary photographer.  I have the family photos I wanted to share from the event.

First up, Sunday and the fluorescent shirts we all wore.  Makes you look tan.
Especially when Shane pairs it with matching shoes.

Uncle Shane and the marshmallow nephew

Can't enough of those sweet cheeks.  I kept pushing Aunt Deidra out of the way saying she gets to see him all the time.  All in good fun.

Dad with an interview, in the sun, without his glasses on. Squinty.

Monday brought Derek and Justin to play the par 3 at Cottonwood at lunchtime with Shane.  Derek stayed in town for all the events this year since it was my dad's last time to be head honcho.

Lefties unite.

Mom, stop taking photos.

Mean green fighting machine.

Papa Snuf and dimpled fellas.

Everyone has to be sporting some type of Starburst attire.

Family fun on Tuesday.

Getting ready for the ball drop.

Derek ran into an old high school basketball league teammate.  Kevin used to take Derek to his home, one of the few non-white players to include Derek in such friendship.  Now Kevin works for a home in Waco that helps troubled kids.  One of the many ways the Lord has prepared us for adoption ahead of us.

The helicopter arrives.

Justin helping clean up the loose balls before the 'copter goes back up for a final drop.

Even the man in charge does the grunt work.

The winning ball.

When I wasn't running around taking photos of the golfers, we were relaxing in Grandma's pool.

Even Ryan showed us some tricks.

Goggle mania.

Daniel came to try out the swimming pool for the first time ever.

Don't think Bumbo's are meant for 4 year olds.

Cousin love

Bumbos do float

On Wednesday, before we headed out we went to try out the Hewitt Burger King with some lifelong friends and their kids.  Who knew such a great play area, totally quiet and to ourselves, was right on Hewitt Drive.  Didn't have a clue what to order as I never really frequent this establishment.  I will be back for playdates for sure.

Wyatt, Charlie, Stacey, and Justin doing a boy pyramid.  Or dog pile.  take your pick.

All the Steen, Smith, Svoboda, and Michaelis kiddos.

Plus these two, of course.  Which now reside in Waco with the rest of them.  makes for a fun quick stop shop when we come into town.

We stopped by to see this sweet boy before we headed home.

Such a fun week of seeing family, friends, and taking lots of photos.  Cheers to Starburst!
