4th Annual NYE Hourly Envelope Countdown

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the 4th Annual NYE Hourly Envelope Countdown:

12:00 noon -> trip to The Shaws.

1:00 -> hike around the yard followed up with dynamic stretching

I couldn't see Jason's eye actually roll, but I'm pretty sure I heard them rolling with each exaggerated sigh as Abe introduced each stretch.

2:00 -> play a yard game

 Throwing Ninja stars was the game of choice. Had DiDi been present when that was picked, it might have been vetoed. However, she wasn't, so Ninja stars it was.

 1 point for a hit, 3 points for a stick

*No participants we harmed in the playing of this game, although I did have my doubts going into it.

 Zeke, Eli and Matt's team won; Matt may or may not have been the deciding factor.

3:00 -> obstacle course:

over the horse swing

 kick the football into the net

 over and under the bars

across the hay bales

 push ups

through the boxes

shoot the gun

 touch the goggles

 through the trees

throw a rock into the net

run back home

4:00 -> polar plunge

5:00 -> board game

The game of choice was Left, Right & Center.

I won one round and my prize was a scratch off lottery ticket. I won $4!

6:00 -> try a new food and make fondue

Smoked gouda cheese and carrots dipped in fondue were the new foods tried by these yahoos.

7:00 -> play a musical instrument

This is where the party moved outside by the fire.

 8:00 -> dance party

 For all the kids out there these days, this is the running man.

 9:00 -> make s'mores

 10:00 -> tell a joke, discuss a cool profession you would like to do, and tell a weakness you want to make a strength this year

11:00 -> scavenger hunt

 12:00 midnight

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

May we all have a blessed 2017.
