Game Mania

For my mom's birthday, we had a little family party filled with games.  As always, Commissioner Melissa out did herself with the array of games. And as always, we didn't disappoint by getting way too involved in each round.  After all, why even bother playing a game if your not going to take it seriously.  It's all about competition.

We played a total of 8 games throughout the day.  My team, Christa, Jim Chuck and Bella, started off with a bang.  We had a HUGE lead.  But BuzzWord ended our lead and ultimately caused us to lose by ONE point.  Boo.

Congratulations to Joel, Mom, Courtland and Beau.  You fought a good fight, but we'll get you next time.

Challenge:  To make the tallest standing structure using toothpicks and dots.  We Won!

Their structure fell over.  It was pretty, but pretty doesn't cut it.

10 mins after the game ended, they are still trying to make it stand.  Give it up already!

Challenge:  To guide one blindfolded team member through the obstacle course without them touching anytime.  Fastest team wins. They won by 10 seconds.  Only 10 seconds and we had to start over twice due to illegal touching - all because of me.  Ugh!

The winning team!
