Memorable Memorial Day


Monday was our second annual Outdoor Games Day as well as our Memorial Day Barbecue. This year there were no rules to the water games. The Red and Blue teams were chosen randomly. Somehow all the Men ended up on one team. Julia got to be with David, Luke and Daniel. The Red team consisted of myself, Kara, Erika and Andea.

We had 200 water balloons, squirt guns, hoses and various pitchers and containers. The object was just to get each other wet--which we accomplished.


It was a pleasant day to eat on the deck and we had the typical grilled hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken, potato salad, watermelon, and corn on the cob (which Erika is demonstrating...)

After dinner the games continued with Julia and Daniel going up against Erika and Andrea to see which blindfolded person could feed their partner a bowl of jello and whipped topping first. Andrea and Erika came in a close second, while Julia and Dan's team came in next to last. [OK, they came in first. :) ]
