stick pull

Yesterday was our annual Ward pool party. The primary decided to add an activity, since families would be coming to the ward pool party anyway. We played a few pioneer games. The game that I was responsible for was the stick pull. I loved this game. This was one of Joseph Smith's favorite games. The children, including the Wardlings got into this one.

Another game was throwing bean bags @ these water bottles, with animals attached to them...kinda like they were hunting for food.
Our camera battery lost it's charge so there weren't any more photos. We had a 3 legged race and relay. The finale was building a temple out of marshmellows. I think that it went well. As soon as the closing/ opening prayer was given there was a herd of children heading to the pool. What a fun evening!
