Flipper bowl XIV

On Saturday night we went to a ward activity. Its the 14th year this ward has had flipper bowl. It really is hard to describe in words and pictures do not really do it justice. It really was a lot of fun and the kids had a great time as well. So, you remember those little paper footballs that boys make in high school? Well, the whole activity is centered around a game using those.....and you have flipper bowl. It is set up kind of like the NCAA tournament, one loss elimination. The tables have been made special and they even have stadium seating for the final two! It pretty impressive! They have all kinds of food you get at a stadium, hot dogs, nachos(April you would love it!) chili, lemonade..... anyways. Below is a picture of the girls at the final flip off( ha!:)) They play music and everyone really gets into it! Look Sadie is totally clapping! We were honored with the national anthem. The final game is played on the table in the picture. They even have real goal posts!

You can even win a trophy(and da came so close, one more win and he would of had one baby!) Maybe next year!

Jack hanging from the bleachers, don't worry, a friend is holding him from behind

Da in the tournament, he won this game( if you really want to know how to play, and have me review the rules, give me a call sometime)

Da was eating this cookie and talking to a friend and Jack just grabbed it and started eating it. Hey, he knows the good stuff

Before the games begin they host a parade for all the kids. The kids decorate their bikes with streamers and balloons and ride around the parking lot! Too fun

Sadie of course was a little bit more shy than Madelynn and Da had to walk with her

Here is a picture of some of the tables

This was by far one of the most amazing ward activities I have ever been too. Its done annually, so if any one wants to check it out next year you should plan a visit around this time!
