Farkle 10000 - Fun Addictive Game! by Tan Zhi Hui

PAX: @K I T T Y L I T T R, @Gamecock, @Finkle, @Pumps, @Sprinkler, @Martini, @Warbucks

Warm-up: Good Mornings, Daisy Pickers, SSH, Frankenstein’s, and Inch Worms

Event 1:  Took a quick Mosey up to the middle school for a round of Bars, Bears, & Dan’s.  This was an oldy but a goody.  Divided into 2 groups.  Group 1 shimmied up the rails on the ramp leading up to the entrance of the school and crawl beared down the stairs and Group 2 was performing Dan Taylor’s.  Those are 1 lunge to 4 squats going all the way up to 10 lunges and 40 squats.

Event 2: Moseyed back down to the pavilion for a game of Farkle.  Most thought I was making crap up as we went but we did follow the rules for 1’s and 5’s.  They were added up to produce how many of a prescribed exercise by the PAX rolling the dice.  If they didn’t roll any 1’s or 5’s they had to take a penalty lap around the park and the next person took their turn.  Lots of fun was had and a little bit of confusion.

Mary: We carried on with another round of Farkle but only called ab exercises.

COT: @Gamecock’s father-in-law is going to have surgery in March and his sister is in the middle of a high-risk pregnancy, @Warbuck’s traveling this weekend, and @Ham’s family in Kenya dealing with civil unrest and area being bombed.
