11th Annual Hourly Envelopes of Fun

 Since NYE was on a Sunday this year, we started our day at church. But as soon as we rolled home, the 

11th Annual Hourly Envelopes of Fun 

was on!

12:00 noon write funny resolutions for everyone else

1:00 blind bill pick up

Zekers kind of cheated by putting the bowl to the edge of the table and pushing the money in, instead of scooping it up. But we didn't say that was against the rules before he did it, so he kept the money. The others were not happy.

2:00 obstacle course

The obstacle course is a fan favorite. Not really. But it's a favorite of Abe and I, and since we plan the activities, it's a staple. Instead of one solid course, we did several individual events this time. First up was the wheel barrel push up and down the driveway.

Next up, dragging the chair across the lawn.

Carrying a couple yard bricks was next.

Trampoline jumping followed.

Carrying the propane tank around the grill got us all dizzy.

Daisy was the winner in 'the loudest' category for all activities, especially on the duffle bag toss.

Aim was of the utmost importance when tossing the ball at the tree trunk.

My big boy is still a little monkey.

We practiced our ups on the wall jump.

The outdoor portion of the day came to a close. Everyone is still talking with each other, so that's good.

3:00 balloon battle

Blowing the cup across the counter with air from the balloon got a little heated.

4:00 cup up, cup down

Kids vs parents resulted in a W for the kids.

5:00 blind taste test

6:00 make hot fudge brownie ala mode

7:00 solo cup gloves 

8:00 how do you doo

We sang songs using only the word 'do' and everyone had to guess what it was.

9:00 would you rather-scripture version

10:00 balloon cup stack

Once again we used all of that hot air to move cups.

11:00 cookie face

12:00 midnight read resolutions made at noon

Midnight toast to 2024!
