Boochie Ball

We had a very busy Memorial Day. We ate breakfast with the Fowlers at 8:30. After breakfast, Greg and the boys went to Home Depot and and Kate and I went to Kohler's. After running errands, Uncle Jarom came and we got ready to leave. We picked up Aunt Cleone at the airport, drove to North Ogden, ate lunch at Subway, visited the cementary and then took Aunt Cleone home. It was a busy afternoon. We had a great time.
For dinner, Greg grilled hamburgers and after dinner the real fun began. Michelle, Dave and Jarom gave Greg the game, Boochie, for his birthday a few weeks ago. This is the first time we had a chance to play. It is so much fun. Every player wears a wrist band that keeps track of his score and also tells him how to throw his hoop and ball toward the Boochie ball (that has been previously thrown). Our favorites were throwing while lying down, kneeing the hoop and ball, with your eyes closed and backward behind your back. You are awarded points based on what side lands up on the boochie ball (you don't get to look until after every player has thrown their objects). I know I'm not explaining it well. Just believe me when I say it is a very fun, fast-moving game. The only place I've seen it for sale is on Amazon.com. Gavin won our first game. After Boochie Ball, we came in and had Creamies for dessert.

I'm so glad you liked the present!! Greg did a good job of picking it out. It looks like you had more fun than Enoch and I did when we tried to play. :)

That looks like fun, it must be a twist on the old Boochie ball. I thought it was a different game but it sounds the same just with the added activities. Looks like fun!

How fun! We will play when we get home--if we're not too old by then! So glad to hear that you had a fun family day with both Fowlers and Randalls. That's what we love to hear about--fun family times!
