We did a mixed doubles &#8220;keeper of courts&#8221; format where winners move up and losers move down and pairs split each time. It was so much fun! <\/p>\n<p>I started on the bottom court for the first game but then pretty much bounced back and forth between the top two courts after that. Pretty much the only times I lost was when I played against Jamie. He didn&#8217;t lose any games at all that day. Basically I would win in middle court and move up. I&#8217;d play with Jamie and we would win so I&#8217;d stay. Then the next game I&#8217;d play against Jamie with the guy from the team moving up and then we would lose. I&#8217;d play on middle court with a new partner, win and move up, and the cycle basically repeated over again. <\/p>\n<p>The highlight of the day for me were my two ATPs (Around the Post). Jamie had a good in between the legs one too when we were playing together. It was a great pickleball day for me. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/50315780438\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50315780438_9b01edf45e_c.jpg\" width=\"500\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Oh, I took a selfie with Gary Miller because we rarely ever get to play together. He wasn&#8217;t even originally playing with us but Ryan Wolfe, who Jen T organized the pickleball play for, backed out last minute. We were scrambling to get a 12th and, thankfully, Gary was able to fill in.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/50316242238\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50316242238_8560690808_c.jpg\" width=\"500\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fun fact: This is also the day I met <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/alex.m.bunton\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Alex Silcock<\/a> in real life for the first time ever. She&#8217;s a local fitness and lifestyle guru that I follow on Facebook. Naturally, I had to get a photo with her. I totally felt like a midget.<\/p>\n<p>After pickleball, Brooke, Karen, and I met Brian at the downtown Meddy&#8217;s for lunch. I&#8217;m familiar with their food but it was my first time at that location. Here are some pictures of our food.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/50316797212\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50316797212_6c7d3d23f3.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/50316796282\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50316796282_71e007c1de.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/50315944958\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50315944958_410f225b0e.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/50316618556\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50316618556_6fa2e9d2b4.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/50316854767\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50316854767_1acb1be25f.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They have a super cute patio with a fireplace (which wasn&#8217;t on that day because it was a nice day) and a wooden Wichita flag hanging above it.
