One of our (many) activities during Border Days this year, was to take Nicole over to help out with the "Street Sports." That meant the rest of us got to participate in the famous egg toss. They have this activity every day for three days. They used 700 eggs the first day, over a thousand eggs the second day and 1,700 eggs on July 4th!!! Us Americans do some crazy stuff to celebrate our independence!!
Glenn gave us pointers on how to catch the egg gently. He made it look so easy...
Waiting for the fun to begin.
It was pretty high-stress. And I wasn't the only one feeling the pressure. Check out the lady in the lower right corner...!
Ah, the relief of throwing an egg and Ellea catching it!
And the pride of catching it without breakage!!
And the sadness when it finally breaks. We didn't make it very far in the competition. They make you do some crazy stuff like catch it one-handed, throw it behind your back and hike it like a football. Ellea and I didn't make it that far - we could hardlly make it pass the basic toss - but we tried!
