dirty-thirty wipe-out

Brandon turned thirty last week. to celebrate we had a wipe-out themed party. each person had to run through a timed course and collect 4 flags. 

the course

first you had to go above...

or below... 

the monkey bars to retrieve the 1st flag while water-soaked balls were hurled from the side.
next, down the slide through wet, flying sponges.

then crab-walk through a pool of jello to pick up the 2nd flag. 

continue the crab-walk under the tramp and grab the 3rd flag while being sprayed with a hose.

next came the pudding covered slip-n-slide and swinging swim noodles.

through a couple of hoola-hoops... grab the 4th flag...

and finally a ring toss to try and deduct seconds off your final time.

and the winners were...
brandon for the men
millie for the women
ellery for the children

before....

and after...

we finished the day with some strawberry and strawberry rhubarb pie.  mmm. happy 30th old man!
