Sigh, our age is showing!
We helped out at our church "Harvest party" tonight & were assigned to "man" the "Swing Bowling" game activity, but had to beg for relief after the 1st hour! You see, all 6 pins are on the floor and having to be manually reset after every "hit" ='s stoop, bend & stand, far "worse" then "weekend-warrior" gardening for Grampa MIkey & HE was "sparing" me (NO pun intended) because of my healing hip & knee! We both felt "better" about it, however, after our (lengthy ;-) "break" when we returned to see our reliefs, a younger set, in similar condition! Was a fun evening! mc

Did I ever tell you that last year I was assigned the Goal Posts game at the church carnival? I had this soft football and I had the kids stand on the little taped line, but every single one of them could throw it through the goal posts with no problem. I thought it was the easiest game ever and kind of lame, too, but whatever. About halfway through the evening someone noticed my game and stopped to tell me the kids were supposed to be KICKING the ball through the goal posts.
Duh. Wasn't quite so easy after that.

I am still laughing.

Who needs instructions to read, right?
I manned the "lily pond" last night. It was supposed to involve a frog but I had a rubber duckie instead. This involved a 2x4 mounted like a seesaw. The duck was set on one end and the kid stomped the other and had to get him in a large box. It was fun - but stooping to retrieve the duck after each stomp was tiring. I lasted the hr 15min required - but was glad to see my replacement. I'm glad I didn't have 6 items to set up each time. Typical of SD - some kids couldn't understand a word of English
Hey reading these responses, I feel a LOT better now! LOL! mc
