The Murphy's hosted the Olympics at their house. First thing we had to do is pick a country to represent. Ella and I were part of the Qatar team. Tyler was on team Ireland and I think Nichole was on team Swaziland. Natalie opted not to participate so she spent the day in the car and Nate had to work. We all got a bib to wear with a number on it. They had a slew of games for everyone to participate in.
The first stop for my team was yard curling. We had to throw a ball into a target. There were rings to the circle and each ring was worth a different amount of points.
The next stop we had was cherry pit spitting. There were 5 buckets set up. Each bucket was worth a certain amount of points. I learned I am not so good at spitting cherry pits very far.
Then we went on to the flamingo toss. We tossed a flamingo through one of 3 hula hoops that were hanging up at different levels on a tree. It's harder then it seems.
Our fourth stop was horse shoes. You had to throw a horse shoe within a horseshoe width from a pole. P.S. I suck at that one. I certainly did accomplish throwing the horseshoe up high in the air.
The fifth game we played was the balloon toss. Brooke Cook was my partner in this game. You would toss the balloon back and forth between each other. Taking a step back every time you successfully caught a balloon.
Lastly we did head bowling. This is how you played. You would put a pair of panty hose that had a ball in the bottom, onto your head, whip your head around and try to knock over 2 liter bottles. I felt so goofy doing this game.
After everyone had a chance to finish the game we all gathered for a bbq and waited to hear who won first place. My team places 4th. A great time was had by all.
