Games In The Park

Michelle R (pictured below with her friends and brother, second from left) hosted a wonderful

Valentine's BBQ for Transiters and LIFErs at her beautiful house last Saturday. A sort of pre-party for the Valentine's event. Before the makan, we challenged ourselves to some serious fun in the park. Darren taught us how to play "The Ultimate Frisbee". Which could be described as a game that's tag-meets-captain ball. The game is simple and the people were sporting, so the result was six parts competitive sports and four parts crazyrunningaroundmadness! Haha. They say dogs like to catch frisbees, well apparantly so do Transiters and LIFErs.

As the sun went down we decided to play water balloon volleyball. Which simply comprises of normal volleyball, played with water balloons. 4 people per team had to toss a water balloon using a large bath towel. The objective: dont get wet! However, that was... shall we say.. virtually impossible.

It was a day to drop balloons, a day to catch frisbees, and a day to drop our seriousness in order to catch our childhood all over again.

Old and young alike enjoyed the Games in the Park.

The LIFErs were so energetic and bouncy, playing twister, then cards, then watching happy feet, then talking in the kitchen, etc etc...It was amazing the still had the energy to smile and pose for photos... ah, to be young again.For some reason, I think Darren looks really small in this photo. I think it's because he's sitting in a small kid's chair. Hehe. Darren, Justin Ooi, Sean, and Justin Jianz were playing some music to entertain uncle Raj (Michelle's dad)... in fact we found out that uncle is pretty handy with the guitar himself. He played us some old favourites...Apparantly that's not all uncle Raj is good at... he did all the barbequeing all by himself. I must say, those chicken wings were mighty mighty delicious...I even think i saw Shannon grab more than one.. hehe.Thanks again Michelle for a lovely time!
