Clue #1 on the treasure hunt.
Next we walked to our neighborhood park and played some games. We had a limbo contest for the kids and adults, a 3-legged race for the kids and adults, and a balloon toss. There were also a lot of other side activities going on while one or more of the planned actives were happening.
The limbo contest was really more for fun. The kids had a blast and so did the adults.
The kid 3-legged Race. There was several versions of this race. The first race included all of the grand kids who are very steady on their feet. So no Ryan and Robert. The kids were teamed up based on height. Alex and Nathan, Bradley and Savannah, Olivia and Jennifer and Emily and Emmalee. Emmalee wasn't too thrilled with the idea of being tied up, but with the help of their parents they finished the Race. Olivia and Jennifer had good team work. They came in third. Bradley and Savannah were second and the twins came in first. Do you think they had an advantage, being basically attached at the hip since the womb???
The next race Savannah and Bradley came in first, and the last race they switched things up and Savannah and Alex and Bradley and Nathan were teamed up. Bradley and Nathan won by a nose. It was a very close and intense race.
Couples 3-legged Race. Mindy was on the "injured list" and Chris was still at work so Debbie and Craig mad up a mixed couple team. Cindy and Derek won, but Kim and Todd gets the best sports award. They fell flat on their face and still finished the race and gave us all a good laugh.
Richard decided to show off his high jumping skills, and the other boys followed. They all tried to top each other, but NONE of them could go any higher than the fourth rung.
After all the adults were close to exhaustion and the kids had a little energy out, we all came back to our house for hamburgers and hot dogs along with all sort of yummy sides.
The kids jumped on the trampoline and played with Piper. It was a nice day. The best part of the whole day. I didn't have to plan any of it. Kim and Richard took charge and got everything taken care of. Thanks Kim and Richard for planning this and being so organized!
It was a lot of fun. I will be stiff for a few days for trying the limbo. But I'll survive.
