Dodgeball: Where hitting your grandma in the face is totally acceptable

Oh yeah, I meant to tell you about our epic dodgeball game.  Funny how I was going to do that about five days ago.  Time flies when you've got a head cold.
OK, so here was the situation.  All of Randy's family got together so we could see everyone which is a lot of fun but really chaotic.  Marcus is the oldest of seventeen grandkids so it's kind of a nightmare when everyone gets together unless we can go outside.  I had the idea, well brilliant idea in my humble opinion, of going to the church to play in the gym.  This turned out to be a lot of fun for everyone.  Randy's mom pulled out a huge bag full of balls for dodgeball and the young and old played until we were too tired to play anymore.  Then we moved on to a game of Lightning {Speed, Bump, Elimination, or whatever you choose to call it}.  Marcus did his best to take down the adults one by one.  Everyone ran their hearts out, no one got hurt {hooray for small miracles}, and we finished off the night with cheesecake.  It doesn't get better than that!
So next time you need something fun to do with a big crowd of people, I recommend playing dodgeball at your nearest church.  It's free and fun which is a win-win in my book!
Team 1, ready!
Team 2, ready!
Run fast, throw faster, and don't get hit!





This is what total exhaustion looks like

  1. I just realized I hadn't taken a look at your blog for some time. I feel so bad, because that is a great connect when I can see all you are doing. Love all your pictures of Utah. A fun memory for us as well. I am so glad you were all able to come out. It was great!!!! Can't wait to see you again.
