Badminton Tug-of-War

Joy's gym class played badminton today,

and she enjoyed it so much that when she got home . . . 

. . . she unearthed our old badminton rackets

so we could swat shuttlecocks around on the driveway for a while.

As in days of yore, we eventually moved from the driveway to the backyard,

where it was cooler and the sun wasn't in our eyes.

Anna and Todd kept playing long after everyone else had gone inside,

and most of their play looked like this . . .

. . . but some of it looked more like a tug of war.

I guess Todd won that round.
