Videos 7/3/10

Here are a few of the videos we took at the family reunion during the games and stuff. This years Theme was from the Mouritsen Heritage of Scotland, so all the games they had came from Scotland.  It was really neat to see our Family doing these things from long ago, and the Guys LOVED it!  They are fun videos and I wish I could post all of them, but there are WAY too many!

This is the Tug-of-war video. It was SOO funny to watch this! This rope was 3 to 4 inches around (easy), and the first two times they started they broke it in half. The 3rd times the charm right? Most definitely! They had to make two groups so that they wouldn't brake it again, but it worked. The wars didn't last long (cause our Guys are so strong, lol), but they sure were a lot of fun and the Guys enjoyed themselves.

This is the type of wrestling they did over there. I'm not sure what they call it, but it was really simple and they had so much fun doing it!

Kyzer was so into watching them play all the games and the next morning he walked up to Ben and put his arms around him and starting growling and jerking him around like they do in the video. It was hilarious!

This is the Log throwing.  The point of Log throwing in Scotland is so they could use the log as a bridge when there wasn't one and they needed to get across a river. So the Goal is to throw it so that the one end hits the ground and then it flips over as strait as possible and the other end hits the ground on the other side and...you have a bridge to walk across. I Believe they had 5 logs and they ranged from 60 lbs. to 130lbs. If you could get it to flip strait enough to make a bridge then you got to proceed to the next biggest log and so on. 

 Here is Ben Throwing the smallest. He didn't get to the last two because Adam broke the 115lb. and nobody could really even throw the 130 lb. But it was fun and they all did awesome!

 My Favorite part of these videos is Kyzer cheering in the background. Somehow he knew when they were supposed to go and he knew when to say "awwww...or YAAAAAYYYYY"! If you turn the volume up you can hear him really well in this one.

This one is of Adam ( our whoppin' 130lbs. 20 year old who did just as good as anybody) throwing the 80lber. (I believe).

Here is Colten Throwing the 90lber. ( I think). He strongly believed (because Chad told him) that if you yelled really deep and toughly that you could always get it over. lol, if you listen you can hear him. And Honestly, I think it really does Help A LOT!

This one is of Nathan trying to throw the 130lber. It took a long time to get it up onto his shoulder and he still couldn't get it, but a few of them at least tried. I just wanted to post this one to show how difficult it was to even stand still with this one.  Good Job guys! You all did great!
