Summer Games

Every year, Lorrie puts together several games for all the kids in the neighborhood. She chooses an evening to do it and everyone makes sure that they are around for them, even the big kids. It's a blast for them. I took the pictures in between the laughs. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

This is the first game. The kids all sit in a circle and the one person who stands in the middle has to guess who the killer frog is. Whoever is the killer frog has to, without the middle person seeing, stick out their tongue at each person sitting and that person falls over dead. This pic shows Cam waiting to be killed by the tongue.

They did a noodle race. The first person from each team begins by running solo down and around the tree then back. Once back, the second team member joins the noodle and they run the course. When they come back, the third member joins the noodle and so on.

They concentrated very hard but Cam's team crashed right at the end.

Time for...Hidden Cup. Check them all out getting ready for their first team member to run to the plate of whipped cream that has a hidden miniature peanut butter cup in it. The object is to find the peanut butter cup, no hands, then eat it up and show that it is gone before the next team member can be tagged.

The next game was Spaghetti head. This was a spaghetti noodle race. Next were the underpants race. Two per pair. Its not as easy as it looks. Then they played a marshmallow toss game. They had to catch the marshmallow with their mouth's and get all the strawberry syrup off then spit the clean marshmallow onto the plate.
That game got a little sticky.
Time for the cold, wet, heavy shirt race. They had to race down, grab a shirt out of the water, put it on, race around the tree, put it back in the water, then tag their teammate to do the same.

Last game for the night was the egg toss. Lorrie passed out eggs to everyone and before she handed the last one out, Tara already broke hers. Oops, she squeezed a little too hard. The object of this game was to toss the raw egg to the partner without breaking it.

Lane had his eyes on the egg that Tara tossed him and was heading right for it but what he didn't notice was that he was in the direct path for Bryan to catch his egg. Check out the egg colliding with his arm.

Ewe that's nasty!

I took around 377 shots of their games. It was hard narrowing down this blog to just a few. I just might have to have them printed into a book for the kids.
