#78 3-legged basketball

SO, for FHE last week we called the family and invited them to play 3-legged bball at the church.  Kory was afraid to get beat by me, so he chickened out ;)  But Kelly's family came and so did Greg and Carly (and they are practically family)

I didn't realize people didn't know what 3-legged basketball is but for the sake of my Canadian sis let me 'splain:  You get a partner, tie 2 of your legs together, and play basketball :)  Simple?  Hilarious! 202We started out using rope- but thankfully Kris had the foresight to bring bandannas.

The teams ended up pretty well matched Smile  Once everyone got the hang of it- it kinda worked! lol

Then Lauren got a phone call and I totally wiped out running backwards (still tied to hubby- not the best idea) so we switched it up and tried blindfold basketball- which Kris came up with.  One member of your team is blindfolded and is the only one who can score.  I should have got a few of the shots on video.  The boys would spend so much time lining up whoever is blindfolded so that they could make the shot, but I think only 1 actually made it in.  It was really funny!

Those Burgess’s are pretty athletic!  Here are just a few action shots (after we abandoned the bandannas all together lol):

It was such a great night- memories made and so much fun had!  I love my family!

And I just wanted to say how thankful I am that Greg and Carly are here- even if it is just for a bit. Because these 2 are so cute together:
