A New Family Tradition


We started a new family tradition down at the beach this year -- the game of "Bags", also known as "Corn Hole." Believe it or not there is actually an American Corn Hole Association that is dedicated to the promotion of the game. In essence you toss a bean bag (filled with corn -- hence the name) at a board with a hole on it. Each team throws 4 bags per round. A bag in the hole is worth 3 points; one on the board is worth 1 point. In each inning the team with the most points scores the difference (so if we have 4 points and you have 3 points, we get 1 point). First team to 21 wins. Throw alternates from side to side. Here Aaron and Mike are competing against Pete and Joshua. It's a fun game -- good for beer drinking and for talking smack to your opponents.

  1. This needs a new name, all-organic materials, and a pretty wooden box -- all for $19.98. Then it will be popular.

  2. It sure is a bad name, isn't it??? Actually, the set you see in the picture was built by our son Mike, so it is all organic and cost about $5.
