We had an early tee time for the golf tournament portion of our family reunion this morning so I didn't get a run in. I didn't golf very well either, but I had a great time in a foursome with Karen and two of our daughters, Brittany and Emily. Neither of them had golfed before, and I think Karen had only golfed once before, but we had a lot of fun anyway. Amy rode along and was our pin girl, and enjoyed driving the golf cart when we let her. Later in the day I held the lead in the BB gun shooting competition until my sister Liz beat me by a point or two as the last shooter. I figured 3 bulls eyes out of 5 shots, with the other two near misses, was enough for me to win, but she edged me out. I did manage to dethrone my son-in-law Sean as the Duck Race champion (blowing plastic ducks with a straw down a rain gutter full of water). There wasn't an official competition with the air rockets, but Karen and I did manage to put together a pretty awesome rocket. On one launch it came down and stuck 3 to 4 inches into the ground. I had to wiggle it to get it out. I missed running the Ragnar Relay Wasatch Back for the first time in 8 years to attend the reunion, but it was the right decision. I really enjoyed the time with my extended family. |
