Belated Birthday

Last weekend we had a gathering for Nate's birthday. The weather cooperated and we had a blast. After everyone arrived we piled into the van for a game of Ultimate Frisbee at G&G Lainio's side yard.

Don't worry we were just heading around the block!

Nothing is as fun as riding in the back of the van where you normally aren't allowed.

There are lots of fun places from which to watch the game .

Nate chose Rhubarb Crisp for his birthday "cake".
(You can still get rhubarb at the grocery store frozen.)


We played a surprisingly hilarious game called the True False Scramble. Questions that could be answered true or false were read out. Each person was numbered to match someone on the other team. After the question was read, a number was called and those two people had to race to sit in the correct chair first. The true chair was at one end, and the false at the other. Matthew described it well.
"As soon as your number was called your mind goes blank."

Nate's Team

Jason's Team

Nate and Jason fighting over the true chair. The score flip-floppped back and forth throughout the game and there was tremendous competition at the end.

We had so much fun it didn't matter who won. Right???

It WAS too much fun. Thanks, Nate, for another great time for everyone! You should have birthdays more often - especially with your excellent taste in desserts! - GJ
