Summer Games
We have two new additions to our yard for the summer!
Andrew set up a horseshoe pit (which is fun, but totally dangerous). The stakes are distanced 40 feet apart and set in the center of 4′ x 4′ patch of dirt. Most people use sand to absorb the impact of the horseshoe, but we make do with what we have. There are a whole set of rules that I have yet to memorize, but you can check here for further details.
The other game I call the Ring Game, though I’m not sure if this is the real name. I did a tiny bit of research and some places call it the “Bimini Ring Game” and others call it “Ringing the Bull” and the basic idea is to swing a ring attached to a string and try to get it on a hook attached to a wall or in our case, a tree. Andrew learned about the game from his Mom who saw it being played in Florida while on vacation. The versions I’ve seen online have fancy plaques but we went the simplified route. It’s surprisingly fun and frustrating.
