Our second challenge was to attend the Q-mix musical fireworks party out at the airport. CYP had special seating located out at the CEDC. We loaded up our coolers, our chairs, our fireworks, and our bocce ball set. When we got there, we parked next to a nice grassy area - perfect for playing bocce ball. This time Chris and I challenged Matt & Erin. Thinking that because we've played several times, we were sure to beat those two. But guess what? They beat us. Pretty soon, some other Amazing Racers approached us wanting to play as well. Soon, we had more than 20 people playing. We lined up several people on different sides of the yard and played bocce ball like I've never played before. It was very cool though and A LOT of fun. First we played where our team member was on the opposite side of the field and the first team to 5 won. The next game, we played one side against the other but the opposing team got to throw the target ball wherever they wanted and the other team had to throw their ball as close to the target as possible. It became very challenging when our side decided to place the target ball right in front of us and put a basket behind it. The person from the opposite side to throw their ball and have it land in the basket got additional points. Several came close, but only one was actually able to complete the task. It was awesome!!
The fun was cut short though when some other people on the premises decided to continue lighting off fireworks in our direction. One of them actually hit Matt in the legs and several others came very close to hitting some of the others. We decided it wasn't worth having an eye taken out so we decided to stop playing.
We then decided to try something a little different with sparklers. We wanted to show everyone who we are, so we spelled out C.E.M.M. It took a few tries and several laughs, but we finally got it. Check it out...
