Memorial Day Picnic!!

Yesterday we went to a Memorial Day celebration at the Oliver's home. We ate, played games, and visited!

 They had a series of 9 games that involved many different challenges. As it went on, teams were eliminated until there was one winning team.  I didn't get a picture of each step, but here is the first one: stringing cheerios while blindfolded!

 For this part of the game the teams had to fill their ice cream pail full of water, by running to a large bucket of water and scooping it up using a container that had holes in it!

Here the team members are standing back to back. One has a drawing of geometric shapes and the other has a blank piece of paper and a pencil.  The one with the drawing had to tell the other one what to draw and then the drawing had to pass inspection by...

 ....the inspector.

 Enjoying the show!

The very last challenge was to catch and saddle a horse!  By this time there were only three teams left.  Here Mr. Oliver is demonstrating how to halter a horse.

The winning team at work!
Congratulations Nate and Kristopher!
