International Tug-Of-War

On Feb. 20th, 2009 we went to the annual church wide park picnic. We had probably 200 hundred folks come with food to share. People came with their folding "camping" chairs (ours stay in the car nonstop) and "desert" mats. They are perfect for the park or desert, are like a plastic straw that is woven so the moisture doesn't come through, and fold up in a neat little square with their own handle.
We ate and fellowshipped with friends and then the games began. Since our church has over sixty nationalities they didn't have to look hard to make up teams by countries.
It was so funny seeing the Indians against the Philippines, and Americans against South Africans and so on! They even had a women's round! I had to pass because of some recent back issues but it was funny to watch!

Barry was pretty bruised up after four rounds but it was good fun!!!
They finished the games with younger kids, and the girls beat the boys!
