Basketball Party!

Last Tuesday we had Team Culvers over for a little party to celebrate a great season of basketball. The party began with supper--the smoked pork I had made was happily devoured by the players.  Then, no party at the Amundson's is complete without a little healthy competition.... It's only fitting, after all, to see who really is the best basketball player in the group, don't you think? So, we brought out Beth's old basketball hoop for a little shooting war.  Da Beast is showing us how it's done: 

Here's Will--look at that form!

And Gabe's. . . form?

And, of course, every party at the Amundson's should include a little personal embarrassment...

After all, Beth could make as many shots as the guys, so we had to make the game a little more challenging to see who was really the best...

so we got out the blindfolds:

(Just between me and you, I think Jeremiah kinda liked his blindfold.  I sorta think he woulda liked to keep it, but was maybe too shy to ask...)

We did come up with a winner--way to go Gene!  Here he is proudly displaying his prize:

A little later, we headed downstairs to see who could dominate the disc golf on the move:

Beth Marie had such a good time hauling this sweet baby around:

Kiernan was amazingly content to be Beth's doll for the evening.  Thanks Will and Val!  :-)

And thank you, Team Culvers, for a memorable year of basketball!   Mike plays with a great group of guys...
