(i am finally getting around to finishing up my posts from our Christmas holiday...I will move this post to the correct date before I print those posts in our next blogbook but am leaving it here for all to read;) aren't you lucky!
Earlier in '08 we visited Richard's brother in SC and had fun playing with their Wii...specifically the ski jump game. We talked about having a ski-jump tournament at Christmastime when we all got together at our house. So Richard and I started to think how we could make this a fun 'event'. We toyed around with the idea of getting t-shirts printed with team names with the families but couldn't come up with a cost-effective(CHEAP) way of doing this! I thought the teams could be named after the towns/states where we reside but that would require some software to reverse the letters before printing them off onto the iron-on paper(remember the Jonas Brothers boo-boo?). While I was google-ing all this trying to get options I came across a site where you can print off a lot of different characters so we decided to be these teams....
Pikachu
Mr. Happy
Shrek(can you see the excitement in his face!)
and team Spongebob
These pictures don't do the teams or shirts justice but I didn't get good pictures of all the shirts so these will have to do!
We didn't have a set time to have this tournament(who likes a schedule at family events!!!) so when it was 10pm on our last night together and we had not fit it in... Richard decided to just pass out the shirts and tell them what we had planned. Well... that got everyone excited and we decided to play anyway! We put on our shirts and started the tournament(decided on bowling though so everyone could play). Some teams even had a cheer. It was a late night for the kids but a lot of fun!

Sounds like a blast!! :) I like the shirt idea. That gives me an idea for our family reunion this summer. Hmmmm
Was the game played in English or Tagalog? Fun doesn't have to speak any one language!
