G.B.O.R. or Throw Your Own Balls

So family was up for Jackson's blessing and we played a very fun game which was brought to us via my sister and brother-in-law Jared. It involves a couple of golf balls on a rope (like a bola) and a very large 3 ' wicket with three tiers. If you toss a bola onto the top tier and wrap it around you get 3 pts, 2 for the middle and one for the bottom rung. Each team throws their bolas and if a bola from each team is wrapped around the same rung, all points for that tier are void. It's a lot of fun. A great game where even if you stink, you can still have fun. By the way, GBOR or Throw Your Own Balls were the toss ups for the official name of the game. Do you know of the official name? Apparently the Newcomers just played this at the Leatham's open house party. Any help?

Ryan made that game for me for my birthday last year and we were wondering the same thing! Then we came upon something similar at Target and they call it Ladder Ball. I bet, however, Ryan would prefer the name Throw Your Own Balls.

Ryan wanted me to clarify what his REAL preference was as to the name of the game: Testical Toss. My bad.

We are so sad we couldn't be there to see the blessing. It sounds like it went well without us :) Thanks for sharing the pictures so we can know what Jackson looks like when we see him. We especially like the one with him and Colby, Jackson looks like a little doll next to his big dad! Very cute.

Reebs - definitely send me a link to your family's blog. Anyhoo...well, I need to see more pictures of Jackson! Then I can make a real assessment of who he looks like :) But he sure is cute.
