Below is digging the Mud pit earlier in day.

During the Rainout we hung out in the youth basement below.

The couch couchions were all washed this week, here they are putting them back on, Jake is holding it together.

Our first few games didn’t make it on film due to some rain still falling. One was a watermelon covered in oil, then two teams of two trying to move the watermelon about 10 yards in opposite directions like American Football.

After that everyone had a handful of mayo they had to get on someone’s head without getting it on their own head. No idea who one as it broke out into chaos.

With the mud pit we played steal the bacon, the bacon was a mayo jar and it was in the middle of the pit.

I believe that is Chris, he had the jar and was gone before the other three collided in the mud pit.

When the battle slowed we threw mud on them.

Check Sam out in the background here.

Below is a sneaker jar steal.

The left over oil went on the slip & slide.

Jon wasn’t moving quick so Chris pushed him down the hill.

Someone got Beckham all muddy and he cried, which was awesome cause once he was muddy he actually played in the mess.

Caught in the act of using another’s clean shirt to clean his eye.

I was about to try it so I closed my eyes, Just as  I barely began Hat pushed me hard from behind. Splat!

Jennifer kept Becks warm while we all continued to play.

Love this picture. What a different experience it is depending upon what side of the hose you are on.

Sam asked Beckham who should I put this on? Beckham said, “you!” So he did.

Here you can see a progression of two events. Wrestling and syrup on the slip and slide.

Here is a link to all the pictures on Flickr.

you can watch them all as a slide show here.

We’ve change from Pizza to Nachos afterwards. We’ll play games with mayo, greased up watermelon, a great mud pit for Liberate the Bacon (Steel the bacon) and then finish it off with what looks to be the greatest Slip And Slide ever.
