2016 Hawaiian Tennis Tournament - Hali’i Kai

Tennis Tournament 

Once Ted found out that Ken and Shirley were staying right across the street from the tennis courts at their resort he started thinking about having a fun tournament for everyone.  Once game day came he got the kids involved as well with poster making, first aid set ups, and giving direction on being a 'ball kid'.










There were lotions, potions and braces for almost anything

Matt was definitely the star on our team, lots of natural talent there!




'Return that one Papa'  :)

Another great thing about the day was the participation of all the kids, they played and were good sports....



Tennis etiquette was observed



The job as 'ball kid' was a serious one....



And we even had a Peanut gallery just outside the court to cheer everyone on...



And when there's a fountain and you're hot, they know what to do to cool off!





The final game was between 'The Warriors' (Gina and Ken), and the 'High Tide Mai Tais' (Kristi and Ted) with Gary as the scorekeeper on the far left.




- with the win going to the High Tide Mai Tais!  After a long but fun afternoon it was time to head back across the street for BBQ burgers, and presentation of some high quality prizes!!  There's talk of it being an annual event, just not sure if it'll always be in Hawaii though........

  1. Loved the Group Shot. Looked like a lot of fun. Hopefully it didn't get too competitive and no feeling hurt.
