Fun and Games

Sunday on the ship was a "Day at Sea." We sat on the top deck and relaxed in the sun. There was entertainment all the time all over the ship. We decided to get involved with one of the games. They needed 4 men and 4 women, perfect for our group. Laurie and Allyson didn't want to play, so Laurie took the pictures. Here we are, waiting to find out what we were going to do.

Here are Brian and Tim with their partners. At this point we still didn't know what games we were going to play.

The first thing we had to do is hand off an apple to each other and the fastest team won. Pretty simple.

Then the "fun" began. We had to pass the apple to each other from chin to chin. Have you ever done this before? It was the most impossible thing I have ever done. I never thought I would get to know Jim and Chris this well.

Here is Tim and his partner handing off the apple, with Brian and his partner watching what they had to try to accomplish next.

That darn apple kept falling and we had to try to get it back up without using our hands. What a pose this is!!

Then we had to blow up balloons and pass them from person to person, without using our hands. With the balloon between our knees we had to walk out around a cone and back. Then pass the balloon on to the next person. It sounds easy but it is hard to walk with a balloon between your knees.

I could never get a good grip on that darn balloon. I looked really silly waddling with that balloon.

Here is Char and Chris doing the balloon switch.

Here's Brian waddling with his balloon. There was lots of laughing coming from the crowd. They were also taking lots of pictures. When they got home I am sure they showed their friends the weird people from Wisconsin that were on the ship.


And yet another switch between Chris and myself.

In the final game we had to put a balloon between our bodies and sqeeze each other until the balloon popped. Jim and I popped both of ours instantly. (thanks for the back adjustment) You can see Char and Chris squeezing and sqeezing each other. That darn balloon would not pop.

And this is my favorite picture. Brian and his partner squeezing each other to get their balloon to pop. You can see Tim and his partner squeezing on the right side of the picture. It was all pretty silly but something we will always laugh about.

  1. Some of those pictures are pretty crazy. If you didn't tell us what you were doing I am not sure what I would be thinking. Glad to see you are having such a good time.
