I can't wait to catch up on all of your blogs (and your great comments on my last post), but I wanted to get a few photos up in the meantime. The picnic was a blast! The video is by far the best, but I have to figure out how to upload that.
About 20 good friends came. I have some fun friends! They brought tons of delicious food and drinks. We socialized, ate.. and then played games! First we broke into 2 teams to compete in a series of challenges:
1. Egg Race- One spoon for each team; carry 1 egg with the spoon to and around cone and back to starting line to pass to next person in line. If they dropped the egg, they had to start over with a new egg. In the end, everyone just threw the eggs at each other.
2. Jumping Race- Each team had to send out one person to jump rope around the cone and back to the starting line to pass off to the next member. Watching these big, muscular guys jumping roping (sparkly jump ropes, of course!) with serious looks on their faces was the best!
3. Dirty Water- One bucket at the starting line, one bcket for each team at their respective cones at the end. Each time has a big sponde and must soak up as much water as possible and race to fill up their bucket with more water than the other team. We couldn't find a place to get water, so we used a bucket of muddy, seaweed-y pond water! Ewww!(My team won!)
Also, we played Red-Rover and 500! I haven't played Red-Rover since elementary school!
Mostly, we ate toms of food and ran around silly like we were 8-year-olds set free at summer camp! SO much fun!
