Corn Hole, Anyone?

Two weeks ago, Adam and I drove to Ohio to see Hilary and Mike get married. (Hilary is Miranda's sister. Miranda's been one of my best friends since 3rd grade. She was also my maid of honor at my wedding.) We drove up July 4th. I really wanted to go the day before, but Adam couldn't get Thursday night off of work. I didn't work Thursday, though, which was so nice. Since Adam was "sleeping" on the way up, I drove the entire way. Luckily, there wasn't too much traffic on the road. There and back, we listened to Stephenie Meyer's "The Host" on CD. Once we got there, Miranda, her husband Matt, and their little Jenna, took us to Miranda's parents' house for a BBQ. There was a lot of people and yummy food. We also learned the game of "Corn Hole." Scroll down to the bottom of this post for an explanation of it.

The following day was the wedding. We didn't have to wake up too early, thank goodness. We slept pretty well, thanks to Miranda and Matt lending us their bed (thank you so much!) The wedding was at a beautiful Presbyterian church. The stained glass windows were amazing. Adam and I goofed around on the balcony before the wedding and got a couple of shots of us with the windows (I'm sure if we were actually allowed to do this...we didn't use a flash, just in case). The wedding itself was short and sweet. Hilary looked lovely, of course. Next, we headed to the reception. Once the music started pumping, I could feel my little girl dancing in my belly. It must've been a little too loud for her! I actually got two dances out of Adam (miraculous!). We ended up having to leave early, though, because Miranda and Matt had to take Jenna to urgent care. She'd been feeling pretty crappy the last few days and even had a fever. Luckily, it was just a virus, and she was bright-eyed a bushy-tailed the next morning.

We were in no hurry to head to for home the next day. We didn't leave until 2 p.m. and didn't get home until after 10:30 p.m. Neither of us had to work until Tuesday. Adam drove the whole way home. We almost finished "The Host." I ended up finishing the book the next day. It was ok. I definitely like the Twilight series much better. The final book comes out Aug. 2!

Anywho, below are some pics from our mini vacation. It was so nice to see everyone in Ohio again!

Such a lovely photo of the cute little family! Little Jenna looks like a little princess.

Here's some pics of cute little Jenna. She's gotten so big since the last time we saw her! Even though she looks like she's 2, she turned 1 on July 12. It took me a few tries to get a pic of her without her eyes closed. Finally, I succeeded!

Ok, back to my blog title. This video shows the game of "Corn Hole." Apparently, it's very popular in Ohio. Everyone was surprised we'd never heard of it. Each team has four corn bags (instead of bean bags), and each side has a slanted wooden board with a hole in it. The object of the game is to toss your corn bag into the hole, which is worth 3 points. If it lands on the board, it's worth 1 point. However, everytime someone from the other team throws a bag that either lands in the hole or on the board, it cancels out any that your team has landed in the hole or on the board. The first team to 21 points without going over wins. It's actually quite fun. We're going to try to get Adam's dad to make us a couple of boards for our various family get-to-togethers.
