For the first time in seven years we opted not to go to family camp. Because that was a big FUN hole that needed to be filled we got together with a couple of other families to make our own fun. We started our day with Glow Golf. Indoor mini golf lit with black lights. Actually we started our day with decorating white T-shirts so we would be properly attired for our round of golf. We then pulled on some old bandanas (rally caps if you will) and broke into our glow sticks so we could be seen while we were golfing.
There was much gnashing of teeth as we battled our way past the windmill and spinning starfish holes, but in the end we were all victorious! (A big thanks to Kim for insisting I get in this picture too!)
There is no greater way to celebrate a glow golf victory like a trip through the nearby hurricane simulator. Like there aren’t enough high winds whipping around this country? (The next shot I got of this has Mr. Fun holding the door closed. He likes to make sure we get our money’s worth!)
After all this excitement we headed home for some vittles and to add some new recruits to the fun. After dinner it was boys (3 Dads and 1 boy child) versus girls (8 girls because one was absent) in a heated game of capture the flag. Because we are serious about our flag capturing we played this game down on the turf fields.
All serious games start with a huddle…
The girls were the first to strike sending out Violet as a decoy. (It’s a good thing she wore the Princess Aurora costume. I heard that Princess Ariel can’t run worth a bean!)
Next the boys hit back but I missed it with my camera because they were so stealth. The rubber match was played but it seemed to go on forever. So much so that there was fraternizing with the cheerleaders…
And even some fraternizing with the other team!
Jill (this is the OTHER Jill) was convinced that little Violet could be used as an immunity idol and if she carried her around she could hunt for the boys’ flag unnoticed. It didn’t work.
It turns out Mr. Fun was a big fat cheater. He had it under his hat the entire time! When everybody finally called uncle he pulled it out and was promptly tackled. As he should have been.
A fun time was had by all and wiped us out so thoroughly that we just had to sit on the couch the next day, by the fire, watching four movies in a row.
Now THAT is a great weekend!
