Whirly Ball and Pole Position

We did Whirly Ball and Laser Tag on Wednesday but I figured I'd lump them together in one post. My mom and Amy were amazingly nice to come watch the older cousins while we went to play whirly ball/laser tag and then they came back to watch the kids AGAIN yesterday (which happened to be my mom's birthday) when we went to do the indoor go-kart racing. That time, they watched ALL the kids. Rather a daunting task if you ask me. Thanks Mom! Thanks Amy! The whirly ball pictures are a bit artistic but it's kind of like basketball meets lacross on bumper cars going 3-5 miles an hour. We're all very competitive so it's a wonder we don't draw blood. Laser Tag was fun too. It's always a smart idea to be on Jeff's team, but Colton was a force to be reckoned with too.

That's me in car 11

Notice anything funny about Austin's bumper car? (HINT: He's the one in the yellow car reaching for the ball.)

You score one point by hitting the colored backboard and two points when you hit the plexiglass circle in the middle and make it light up. It's only one point if it doesn't light up. Super fun!

When we play, it's like watching little kids play soccer - we all follow the ball from one end of the court to the other :)

Colton was a pro at this!

Aren't they cute! You can really see Isaac's resemblance to Liz here. 

Ninjas!

Here we (well, I) go!

Mitchell takes off...

It's husband vs wife and I'm not in the lead! I claimed the distinct honor of finishing in last place for both of our races. Yes, Mitchell is lapping me here.

Gotta love the photo-bombing Ninja...

Love on the battlefield

Jared in the lead followed by Sereen!

There goes Sereen!

Yep, I'm hot!

We could totally start a Heath Family Biker Gang
