Backwards Night

Last night was our first official Family Night. The plan is to have them twice a month.
Backwards was the theme of the evening, and we had a great time!

Everyone dressed for the event,



We started off with dinner...under the table,





No dinner unless you first finish your dessert - hard to tell from the picture, but dessert was Oreo's with cream on both sides, and the cookie in the middle!



Dinner - hotdogs with the bun inside the hotdog,


and 7-down to drink



We finished off the evening with backward sliding,




and backward races in the backyard.


Fun!
