"Go Granny Go"
Watching Old Sow
Grandpa's New HairdoWe all met at Pioneer Campground near Soldier Mountain (Fairfield) for the annual Labor Day campout. All of the cousins were there (Connie's kids) and Larry's kids and Ron, Kaye and Annette and her three kids. Some were there by Thursday, but Bryson and I arrived Saturday after he went to football practice. The wasps (hornets? bees?) were horrific and most everyone was stung at least once. Dave was out of town and missed it, bees and all, and we missed him.
Hand and Foot, Hearts, and a few other games were always going. We also played Would You Rather and Battle of the Sexes. A few familys had their Beach Boys songs ready for Sunday night, the others were party poopers. We caught up on all the news, chatted and went for walks.
There as an intense game of Old Sow with both a regular version and an all girl version. The boys can get brutal. In old sow there are 10 holes with 11 players with sticks and a hole in the middle. A squashed tin can is the "puck". IT tries to get the can in the middle hole and everyone else tries to keep it out while protecting their hole. When the can gets into the middle hole everyone has to run to "home" and then run back, grab a hole and a stick. The extra person is now IT. Crazy!

I'm soooo jealous of the fun and not having been there.
That looks like a ton of fun! I'm sad I missed it, bees and all :) Old Sow looks like it has the potential for someone to get an eye poked out! Love Grandpa's long luscious locks.
