BBQ Battle

The Lenexa BBQ Battle was very interesting.  It is interesting how the nature of Sar-ko-par can change when it is full of tents with wonderful meats being grilled.  We walked around grabbing extras from each booth as they took the best for the judges and gave the rest to the scroungers, like us.  We made it back to the Kearn's booth (the Kearn's were kind enough to guide us around because we know their son) just in time to help them hold the cover on their tent down as strong winds and rain challenged all teams.

The strong rain continued around town, mostly in short bursts at first, continuing into a long downpour.  We headed to the plaza afterwards to visit the Apple store and get free samples at the Better Cheddar.  On the way, we saw that brush creek actually had a good amount of water in it, creating rapids in the normally dry and boring sections.
