50th Anniversary - Game Night, Canoes, Go-Karts & Family Portraits

One night they planned Family Game Night.  Playing games---specifically Mahjong and Acquire---were a part of the Ring family traditions growing up.  It turns out Kristen was like the Twister Champion of the family.  After several rounds, I am proud to say that Patrick was the twistiest of the night!  Way to go, honey.

Micah was super-flexible, too!

Two games of mahjong for the kids were going on at each end of the long table!

 

Earlier that day, we used more of our muscles...... to paddle all our canoes!  That was my first time canoeing and I thought it would be hard for Tristan, but for the most part, he sat there and stared out into the water!  It was like a 2 hour ride down the river.

We ended the day doing some miniature golf and go-karts. Caelan really enjoyed the double Go-Kart and kept yelling to his dad, "Faster, daddy!"

Fun things planned for the family and a lot to coordinate, including what to wear for our family portrait.  Our professional pictures should be up soon, but to give you a sneak preview of our colors....we went with a yellow.....

 

blue....

...and navy and orange theme.  With some bits of green and gray in there, too!

The photographer let us see the shots of our (Patrick's) family, and they looked really really good.  You just might be getting some on your Christmas card!
