I Belong to You, You Belong to Me

This weekend is Kim's Bachlorette party at the cabin.  She really wanted to have everyone up to the cabin to just hang out and have a low key weekend.
We came early on Friday to get things set up and cleaned up.  We had decorations and food to prepare.

Tonight's agenda will include dinner at Pizza Pub (you didn't think we would miss that...) followed by  a trip to the casino, drinks and gossip session with a few people that joined us Friday night.
Tomorrow we will hit up the winery in town, play games, open gifts, then dinner and drinks in town.

We were pleasantly surprised to see that Pizza Pub was hosting Octoberfest!  Tons of samples and vendors.  We even got to play Hammerschlagen.

Hammerschlagen Rules©

Nails are pounded into a stump (just the tip of the nail)

Use one hand only
Grip the hammer behind the red safety line
Must use wedge end of the hammer to strike the nail
Wedge end of the hammer must be on the wood and touching the nail to start
Player has one continuous swing at nail per turn, if the nail is not driven flush into the log then the hammer is passed to the next player
Arc of hammer swing can be no higher than the players ear
If the nail bends, the player can move to any position around the table to strike the nail for their next turn, or the nail may be straightened and counted as a turn
To win, the nail must be flush or below the surface of the wood

When it was time to head to the casino there was some grumbling from some of the party go-ers.  Not everyone was too excited about going to the casino.  So quickly thinking, I threw together a Casino Bingo game. We all got Bingo cards and throughout the night had to try and get a bingo.  Some of the squares were to find a man with a braid, a couple with matching shirts, a Nascar jacket, someone missing most of their teeth, someone on a Rascal Scooter, a couple with their hands in each other's back pockets...you get the picture.

It was surprising how easy some of those were!
