Idaho's Anniversary

I woke up this morning to an awesome sunrise over the lake. We started off this morning with a game of FOLF (Frisbee Golf) in the course on their property (basically various trees and what-not around the driveway, on the hills, etc.). I have never played before, so I do not know how it compares to any other course out there, but it was hard, and it was fun! I somehow managed to get “hole in one” once even! JT, Paddy, Bryan, Ed, Chad, Mark and myself played three games, the final one going into super overtime, and folks had to create new goals. Next we played a backyard mini golf warm up game. Yes, mini golf! They have a rustic course handmade by the lake. Their yard has various rocks, roots, caves, trees, etc. Most people would smooth things out, put in some grass or a patio, but not the Bocks, they turn it into a Mini Golf Course and make it a yearly tournament tradition! The first 5 holes were made quite some time ago. Again, I somehow managed to score a hole in one! This was good practice, as the big tournament is tomorrow!

Next was the annual Corn on the Cob eating contest. JT came in first place (his mom was the judge ;) ) Second place tie between Krisianna and Paddy. I have never been in any kind of eating contest before. It is easy to bite the corn off fast… but then you forget … you have to swallow all that is in your mouth too. I was also introduced to “Sitty Club”, the family two-seater outhouse complete with Furbies and talking toilet paper. We also spent some time on the docks by the water, while others zoomed around on Wave Runners and I watched with nervousness in my heart. They go fast and spin around. Looked pretty scary.

Tonight we played Apples to Apples with everyone. A great game, Bryan’s new favorite actually! We also sat out by the dock and around the fire to watch the 3rd of July local fireworks.

Quote of the Day, “Brontosaurus,” JT to Krisainna. The word that led to his win of Apples to Apples.
