As I have mentioned over in my other blog, we attended a party at the last week of August over at Beaver PA. The homeowner lives in a secluded area where neighbors are far and he has a decent amount of land for his farm animals. They set up a badminton set in the yard and we had so much fun with it.
It's been a while since we last played this game (five years ago maybe) so we were glad to have the opportunity to play again.
These two are very competitive and they always want to do best in everything that they do. It is a kind of a curse of sometimes because when they feel like they won't do well, they don't want to try it. They do love badminton and tennis so they were happy to see the set as soon as we arrived in the farm.
We interacted with the farm animals first then they played badminton. Because of this, they want a set of badminton that we can set in our backyard. I am not sure if our backyard would be big enough for this but we will see. They also want a pingpong set for Christmas because they had so much fun playing with it during our Vegas trip.
We used the same net to play volleyball. I love playing volleyball so even if I didn't know these people I played with them. Some of them have already filled with beer so it was funny seeing them stumble at times.
I just wish I would have worn a sports clothes and shoes that day, it would have been comfortable. I indeed up removing my shoes because it was hard running with it.
I think the homeowner have few beers before he played and he landed his put wrong when he leaped and he had an injury. He had to go to the hospital and left his guests there because his foot swelled up right away. This is why, you should play any sports when you have alcohol in you, it calls for a disaster. I felt so bad for him because he hosted this party to have fun but indeed up getting hurt.
Your kids do have the form judging from your pictures. I'm sure they had a lot of fun playing badminton. 😊
ReplyDeleteadorable kids you have there! i'd love for my daughter to engage on sports too, away from gadgets.. well, you know how it is nowadays! ;)

ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I haven't played badminton in years. We love playing beach volleyball on our annual family vacation. There's 15 of us, so it makes it even more fun.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fun time. I'm sorry the host got hurt though! I agree though, don't drink and play. It rarely ends well.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had such an amazing time I have to admit I was never any good at bagminton I always seemed to hit thin air, but I did like tennis.
ReplyDeleteSo I can't say I have ever played badminton, lol, but I've heard a lot about it! Looks like a fun time.
ReplyDeleteGreat thing about playing volleyball or badminton two can play or a bunch can play. Would been nice if the host had told you what games he had planned so you could wear proper clothes.
ReplyDeleteWe have played badminton in years. Looks like everyone, including the host before his injury, was having a wonderful time.

ReplyDeleteOh wow your kids are all grown up now! I bet they really enjoyed playing with the others. And these children needs to socialize more since they are getting bigger! I hope to play with my son in the next few days too!
ReplyDeleteI loved playing badminton when I was a little girl. We had one in the back yeard and would play for hours.
ReplyDeleteWe played volleyball many years ago at a family reunion and it was fun. I have tried badminton several times but wasn't great at it.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the homeowner was hurt. Other than that it looks like everyone had fun playing sports.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun family idea! We do not play these sports but we do enjoy baseball and soccer together. It is so fun to do with the kids!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fun day. I love how your family likes to be active and play two very fun sports. Yes, wearing the proper footwear is key to preventing injuries, especially when playing sports. I hope the home owner feels better.
ReplyDeletePlaying games like this makes working out fun. I love to play tennis and swim - it never feels like exercise!
