Games

Someone (Aunt Stacy maybe?) had the great idea to have each family be in charge of an activity. This turned out to be a GREAT idea and a good time filler. With all of us in one house it was good to have something going on. Some people did day time activities that sort of shaped how the day was spent and some of us did evening activities which was good to have things to do in the after dinner down time.

We stole Nelson's idea from the last Hansen reunion and did Minute to Win it games. We pretty much just copied their ideas. However, we forgot to take into account the O'Farrell competitive genes. Definitely not as present in the Hansen family the O'Farrells got a little crazy with the games. We had a few casualties.



First Game: keep the balloons in the air
First casualty: pregnant Aunt Jill eats it (no pictures of that)


Game 2: keep the alka seltzer in your mouth. The O'Farrells were crazy with this one! Sick!
Second Casualty: Ashton vomits (no pictures of that either, you're welcome)

Game 3: suck the m&m's up with a straw and make a smiley face
no casualties (phew)

Game 4: cotton balls stuck to nose into cup (do these games have names?)
we were done with casualties once we moved inside



Game 5: cookie face (get the oreo cookie from your forehead to your mouth)
casualty: my thighs (I think I ate 10)

I didn't take pics of aunt Amy's family games probably because I was too busy being beat to death by Autumn in hot potato. It seriously got violent. Those O'Farrells are a crazy bunch! But it's totally contagious.

More to come...

Yeah, Autumn got a little crazy. Glad I didn't make it to the end. It was a fun week though!
