Family Bash Day 2

Day two started with bagels and a lot of strong coffee. After that, we were on to pirate crafts including designing pirate ships and necklaces. Rainer enjoyed the blue glitter glue and created a unique masterpiece. Rebekka and Chris B had rival treasure chests, one IU and one Purdue. After the art, we launched into the most debated part of Family Bash, the treasure hunt. For teams were given a list of items to find. Team 1 made it back with 10 minutes to spare and ended up the winner (with a little help from ChaCha). After the Treasure Hunt, we lunched on sandwiches and fruit and then waterballoon volleyball. Renee and Rebekka suffered injuries brought on by Brent Rice. A lawsuit is pending. Brent thought he was Superman and jumped off the plank into a very small inflatable pool busting a bucket and his ass. After a little relaxing we dressed in our best pirate costumes, made pirate ships out of pantry items and launched them in the nearby lake. Susan attempted to save her ship by physically manhandling JR, but in the end, her boat was doomed. We all headed to Kroger dressed in pirate garb...Wayne kept yelling PIRATES and scared the hell out of the Geist crew. I have to say that those people in Geist don't have a funny bone. I think many of them had their cell phones handy and ready to call 911. After dinner we started the rockband competition-and I have to say that I think that Brian's team (Brian, Lauren and I) got jipped on our song. I sang Should I Stay or Should I Go; Brian covered to guitar; Lauren covered the drums. I think Brian made a mistake in choosing me to sing-I have a horrible voice and yes, I was booed off stage at least once. Rockband winners included Chris B, Brent and Susan (with a little interferrence from Rainer). Then we headed outside for s'mores and a bonfire....late collapsing from shear exhaustion. But hey, we made it through Family Bash 7 with only a few minor bruises and the best part about it is that Gina and Brent are in charge of Family Bash 8!

Thanks Chelsea and Chris, for a wonder job on the Family Bash banner. This is the best banner we've ever had.
