A most fabulous day of dads

We held the 1st Annual Father's Day Olympics!
(this is going to be a mondo post)

Meet the contestants: *Jack*Mike*Trav*Leo*Bruce*


(click on the collage's to enlarge)
There were rules, an event schedule, a scoreboard and PRIZES! It was official!

First Event - Marksmanship
Each contestant got three shots from a pellet gun. Closest to the bull won.
1st - Mike, 2nd - Jack, 3rd - Leo



Second Event - Archery

3 shots, closest to bull won.

1st - Trav, 2nd - Leo, 3rd - Mike

Third Event - Bocce

1 toss, closest to peninsula (that's what Walker calls it) won.

1st - Jack, 2nd - Trav, 3rd - Mike

Fourth Event - Free Throw

5 shots, most out of 5 won.

1st - Mike, 2nd - Trav, 3rd - Leo, Jack and Bruce!

The rule states for a tie full points go to all. Who knew there would be a three way tie for 3rd for scoring ZERO baskets!!! It got Uncle Bruce on the board.


Fifth and final Event - Sprint & Chug

25 yard dash, beer chug, first finished won.

1st - Trav, 2nd - Mike, 3rd - Jack
By far the most amusing to watch.

There was a tie for overall champ between Mike & Trav. A three point basketball event was held to determine the winner. Mike won!! Prizes were awarded, the champ picked first and so on.

The supporters.

We thought it would be fun if each family dressed similar in support of the competing dad.
Mike = Team Dew-rag
Trav = Team Red
Leo = Team Swithenbank Construction
Jack = Team Black & White
Bruce = Team...didn't get the memo
These are just a few of my favorites shots of the day...there are a lot more but I think this post is long enough!!
