A bit of Competition

It was that time again on Saturday, yes the Annual Family &  Friends BBQ with fun and games.  This year it was the 3 legged stool competition. We got into groups with a ton of old newspapers and goodness knows how many rolls of selotape and we had to make a sturdy 3 legged stool.  When the stools were finished they were lined up and 2 lightweight lasses (a cousin and a niece) had the job of sitting on the stools to see which was the strongest and didn't collapse, thus deciding on a winner. 

What a lot of fun it was everybody joined in and indeed each group was focussed on winning the trophy.  No two stools looked alike they were all shapes and sizes and it must have taken about 45 minutes to make them.  The fact that everybody no matter how old or infirm could take part made it more enjoyable but being on the winning team was a big fat bonus and next year we are going to have "The Lilo Challenge" I might have to lose a bit of weight for that one ha ha ha
