ton o' fun revised

Our beautiful neice,Lori, hosted a family field day for the family...
billed as a contest between the "Carlsons" and the "Mauses"
The games were picked by the carlsons, rules made by the carlsons, and games judged by the carlsons.....(Uncle Bob got to help with the bake-off...on second thought that may have been to protect Uncle Terry)

A Carlson:
1)any one named carslon at any time in their life (except for aunt linda)
2)anyone married to a carlson and the offspring of such a union.
3)anyone dating a carlson.

A Maus:
1)anyone currently named Maus.


we came, we played hard, we lost
Uncle Bob (having just had rotator-cuff surgery)
played with his right arm tied behind his back...so to speak
We took the first two events but lost or tied the rest.
The toddlers and babies took a turn at the sack race...Connor was the first to finish without being helped or carried.


Looks like Terry is praying...and who can blame him given our history with this sort of thing...
Miraculously, I was even allowed to enter the dessert competition,
and although I did not win...I got a decent score and feel that I am redeemed from the misdemeanor muffin incident.



Joel has a black eye, Steph is a bit bruised, Sarah got body-slammed by Chris, but it looks to me like April got the best of Chris with the pie fight...with a little help from Nate.







And of course, a ton of fun was had by all!
