Corn Hole Time

We had the big family gathering today to celebrate Fathers' Day and our being in North Carolina.  It was great seeing everyone again and since they lead such busy lives, it was especially nice.   Our daughter Cassie and her family couldn't make it and they were missed.  Gerry's sister Darlene and bil Tom made the drive down here for the party.

The big game was being played when we arrived.  It was girls against boys and I'm not sure who won, but I was rooting for the girls.  The corn hole board was a gift to Barbara for Mother's Day and it seems to be in use very often.  Here's Barbara & Taylor competing against each other with their partners down at the other end.

 For those of you that don't know what the game of corn hole is all about, a brief introduction follows. 

There are 4 bean bags per player or team and tossing the bags onto the board scores a point or 3 points when it goes in the hole at the top of the board.  There are cancellation points much like horseshoes and the game is played to 21 points.  One doesn't have to win by 2 points and the first to 21 wins.  It seems that a beer or drink to help level your throw is part of the game.  Or at least, that is how the game is played in North Carolina.

Everyone left and finally it was down to Tom & Darlene, Barbara & Henry and Gerry and me.  By this time we were worn out and left also, very early for us to leave a party.  We can't party three or four nights in a row and keep going.  We did have a great time and really enjoyed seeing all the family.

That was our Sunday, how was yours?
