July 2010 - BYC Game Night

Two weeks ago we had the Stout Family's yearly competition, the BackYard Championship. This is the epic competition in which we all compete as a family for the prized trophy that signifies sporting excellence. We golf around my parents backyard, setting up new targets as we go. We had a fun time and celebrated Jared's birthday that night too.


We found a golf club that was Jackson's size and he had a fun time golfing around the yard.

Ainsley didn't want to golf at first but she definitely enjoyed sticking her tongue out at the lawn.

Ryan was taking an early edge, pushing the defending champion (Steve) into a defensive position.

Ainsley ended up getting into the competition when everyone offered her the golf balls. She thought they were fun toys.

The second part of the evening was a home-spun version of the game show, Minute to Win It. We played the games from the show in the backyard and inside. Jackson was having fun with the games, using some special strategies of his own to succeed.

Ryan ended up wining the competition, forcing my dad to give up the coveted trophy for this year. I think I'll have a good shot at next year; maybe I'll ask Jackson for some tips on my short game.

We had so much fun with the games from the TV show. We send out a big thank you to Ryan for setting them up.
