Petersen Reunion 2009 Day 1: Backyard Fun

After starting off at the Balloon Festival, we had breakfast down at Bruce and Beth's apartment. After getting an early start, we headed home to get our boys down for a nap so they'd cooperate for the activities later that night. Everyone gathered at our place for dinner and then we played games in the backyard afterwards. We played bolo or redneck horseshoes and badminton before having a water fight. We broke up into teams and used sponges and those balls that soak up water and played dodge ball style. Grandma and Grandpa were nice enough to watch the babies so the rest of us could participate! Here's some pictures of our fun that night!
Brayden enjoyed laying on a blanket in the backyard while everyone played.
Brian and Dad were the first to play bolo. Brian made this game after finding the instructions on the internet! He's getting pretty handy!
Carrie and Mom were a team and took on Beth and Stephanie in the first badminton game!
Brayden can't help but dig in the backyard so that kept him busy for awhile!
Beth and Stephanie celebrating a winning point...
eventually they just resorted to hugging instead of the chest bump method!
Brayden and I took on Mom but that didn't last too long!
Dad became the bolo champ of the evening!
Grandma helped Brayden try to learn how to serve.
Bruce got in on the bolo action too!

Now after the water fight...the first team was Beth, Bruce, and Carrie! Somehow Carrie doesn't look too wet!
The second team consisted of Brian and I, Brayden, and Stephanie. We look wet!
Somehow these two crazies got ahold of a hose!!
Both the teams together after our water fight!
