BBQ on the Beach

We had a beach BBQ this past weekend as our monthly teambuilding. The kids got in the water and the rest of us relaxed. Well, I didn't get to relax, as I am the "Deputy Business Services Coordinator", so I had to plan everything, take pictures, lead the games and not drink in case someone needed a ride home. However, I think everyone else had a good time, even the kiddos. Here were some action shots during our day. :) The ladies at the office helped me think of some games -- I was not previously familiar with Chicken Fighting. As you will see below, the object of chicken fighting is to stay on one leg and knock down the other team. The last team standing wins! It was hilarious!!!!!!


The start of the 3-legged race. I handed over the camera so I could participate in this one. Here we are before the start.

And here we are about 5 seconds after the start. Luckily, our boss is in the background since he and his wife didn't even make it for more than about 3 seconds! We beat someone!! yeah!!!
Here is 1/2 of the winning horsehoes team. We drew names from a hat and paired people up. Rob and another guy won the tournament. We had to change the rules and play to 5 for the Korean ladies...it was a loooong game. They need some more practice. I think we actually called the game at 3 points.

Hanging in the shade and having some GREAT BBQ. We were all very surprised at how good it was!!!
Andy is cooking up the chicken, shrimp and sausage. Branden was on the other grill with the beef, which was delicious!


The late crowd.



The beautiful sky around sunset. We taught everyone the way of the Austinites and clapped at sunset.

I would've added more commentary, but it's Monday night and we are worn out. Time to hit the sack. Oh yes, and I huge thanks to Beast and Amanda for Skyping us at 1 or 1:40 am this morning!!!! Just remember, revenge sucks!!! I think I had crazy dreams after that because I rushed out of bed thinking it was an emergency of some sort. You guys are in trouble!!! :)
