Under the Sea Olympics

After cake, we headed outside for a brief game time...staying current, but keeping with the theme, we had Olympic Games with a sea theme.

We divided into teams and started things off with Camden Trivia.

You might think this team had an advantage with Camden on their bench.

But this team was slightly stacked with Camden expertise.

Next came field events. 

The Whale Toss:  One team member wears a shower cap covered in shaving cream.  Another member tosses "Whales" (generic goldfish crackers) one at a time.  After a minute, 100 points award for each whale that sticks.

Camden's team was award a 500 point handicap since ReeRee had a very short and moving target.

Mermaid Shot-Put:  Three rings with various size openings were placed at varying distances.  Mermaid dolls were tossed.  Every team member participated.  Everyone made the pool for 100 points, only Joseph and Ric made the swim ring for 300, and no competitor successful tossed a mermaid into the swim star.

We then moved on to the water events.

Water Balloon Volleyball.  Two team members held a towel with water ballon inside.  A third member stood at a distance and had to catch the balloon without popping.

Beach Ball Soccer.  A head-to-head competition between two teams.  A beach ball placed in the middle of the field, both players have a garden hose.  The first team to get the ball across the opponents goal line is awarded 200 points.  Only water could be used to advance the ball or defend the goal (or get your opponent wet).

Third place (yellow crab medal) was Team B-Cuda.  GaGa and Aunt Tammy were also on this team at various times until they each had to leave.  Bill stepped in for the final events.

Second place (blue crab medal) was Team Giant Squid.

First Place (purple crab medal) was Team Hammerhead.

Thanks to all the good sports who help make Camden's birthday party a lot more fun.
