So this weekend I will be heading up to Beaver Creek to Jax's condo with an eclectic crew to partake in the Winter Games sponsored by the Colorado DG Society. The event begins in the morning with traditional Field Day games like tug-of-war, 3-legged races, the car game, etc., then continues on into the evening with indoor games such as: Taboo, Scattergories, and Pictionary, then finishes up with some more "adult" games that involve boozing. The day will be rounded out with a group reconciliation (after a competitive day) in the form of a trip to the hot tub.
The rules of the gaming commission state that athletic attire is mandatory, and more specifically
"Athletic Attire is defined as: Clothing which will not only help you preform but will also distinguish you amongst your fellow competitors. It must warm enough to keep the rest of us from suffering through your complaining. Please note that most events include rolling around in the snow. It must also be colorful and creative."Lack of compliance with this rule lands the participant in the beer tent.
Some key favorites for events include:
- Cortney and Jackie on either team for tug-of-war...These former CU track athletes boast some great weight training in addition to their sheer natural strength allowing them to anchor their teams
- Mikey and Matt (if he decides to show up) in the three-legged race...their approximately equal height and long legs make them a shoe-in for medal contenders
- Caitie in the hula hoop. She can move her body like an ampersand, and her command of the hula rhythm place her as a top contender
- Vanessa or Jackie with Oz in Taboo...best friends past and present are bound to dominate.
- Korrine in the egg walk...I'm betting she's more coordinated than most of us when it comes to walking
Stay tuned to hear about the exciting results and the pictures we deem appropriate for posting...
