Memorial Day Field Day/Fair

So Adrienne and I were talking while shooting things with arrows this afternoon and we thought, since Memorial Day's coming up this Monday, it'd be fun to do a Field Day/Fair type thing so everybody could get together and have fun. Like three-legged races, bean bag tosses, a dunk tank, food eating contests, egg races, climbing contests, obstacle courses, rock climbing, ultimate frisbee, baseball, archery. We're taking ideas for other stuff, so feel free to make suggestions. Also, lots of food, mostly grilling, and swimming in this lake people keep telling me about if it's warm enough. Or there's a pool, right? So loads of stuff for everyone to do. Everybody should come. Yes, there will be alcohol for people who're legal.

Well, I could be persuaded to do something with a dunk tank. Only caveat is that I may cheat and would need to have some wine or beer near by.

More like dRunk tank, amirite? ;-)

Why Mr. Ramsey, I did not know you were so keen on also being part of the dunk tank! By all means, let us sign you up.

Do not forget - I get first dibs. Kisses!

Um...there's that whole sudden water thing? Y'know, for which I spend a lot of Emma's money on therapy?

:/

Douglas, as if I'd let you go down past your shoulders. Really - chaos manipulation is worthless if they let your friends panic in a drunk tank.

(Seriously, darling, trust me. Let me throw balls at you. It will be fine.)

Let's face it, you really just want to use your balls to get me wet.

;-)

(It's the sudden thing - maybe if we could rig a delay so I know it's...hurr hurr...coming?)

That about sums up our friendship. ;) (did I do the smiley face thing right?)

I am more than certain we could rig something up to get you nice and wet without being completely submerged. I mean, I could not, my construction days are well behind me but someone could.

*sigh* My therapist is basically telling me to do the thing, so.

So we will do the thing! And it will be glorious!

I'm not sure about the glorious part, but we will do the thing.

I'll be there if you panic. It helps to have a girlfriend like me. :D

<3 You're so good for my ego.

[identity profile] x-cypher.livejournal.com 2015-05-23 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
You're just plain good for me.

Well now! A wine dunk tank is the things that dreams are made of. Mostly my dreams. (Though the sad reality would be that it is a waste of good wine and a terrible thing to happen to my swimsuit.)

You are a genius. You may stay. And fetch me wine when I get dunked.

I could be persuaded to fund a pudding tank...

[identity profile] x-wallflower-.livejournal.com 2015-05-23 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
I would make the pudding! (What flavor?)

[identity profile] x-adrienne.livejournal.com 2015-05-23 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Making enough for a dunk tank seems extremely time-consuming and you seem to have little enough free time as it is.

[identity profile] x-wallflower-.livejournal.com 2015-05-23 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
That is true. We could get someone else to make the pudding?

[identity profile] x-adrienne.livejournal.com 2015-05-23 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
You mean like a store from which I would then purchase said pudding?
