First Annual Memorial Day Decathlon

Joey and I headed to Highland Village, where we participated in the first annual memorial day decathalon. We had teams of two competing in ten events. We had six teams so for each event the winners got 6 points, second place got 5 points, and so on with the last place team getting 1 point. At the end we added all the points and the team with the highest points won. Ok, meet the teams:

Team 1: The Relaxers, mom and dad


Team 2: The Hairy Back Marries, Jess and Johnny (unless you are an avid Friends fan, you might not get this team name, but for those of us who love the show its stinkin' hilarious!)


Team 3: The Snakes, Dalton and Drew


Team 4: The Crazy Disney Characters, Mel and Kevin


Team 5: The Village Idiots, Darrell and Stephanie


Team 6: The Fitness Gurus, me and Joey



These were the ten events that we all participated in:
1. Football Toss
2. Free Throws
3. Shooting a Target
4. Croquet
5. Water Balloon Toss
6. Badmitten
7. Yahtzee
8. Darts
9. Putt Putt Golf
10. High Card
Everyone was tired, so instead of Bocci Ball for the final event we decided on high card. Everyone drew a card and high card got the 6 points, next highest 5 points, and so on.
Check out some of these awesome photos from the great day! What an awesome day! Thanks to all the teams participating that made it so much fun. And special thanks to mom, dad, Steph and Darrell for doing so much of the work. In case you were wondering who won, check back to the blog because that post will be coming soon! Yeah for fun, family and friends!

We had a blast with you guys! We are excited to see the costumes y'all come up with next year. Don't get used to housing those trophies because you'll be 'all handing them over next year!
Love you!
