wife balance.

So over Christmas Break we got creative. 

Jan and Judson have this game they play in Cedar City with Judson's siblings called Wife Balance. 

This is what it looks like.

Here are our opponents, my sister Jan and her husband Judson.

In mine and Rich's case, it would more appropriately be called "Girlfriend Balance" but for ease of typing, we will stick to the appointed name they picked out in Cedar. 

Anyway, they showed us some pictures and Rich and I felt confident we could compete.

We all had to look up yoga poses on the internet for inspiration, but I think we all came up with some good ones. Here are some of our successes.

 My personal favorite, I think it looks the most impressive.

And here are some of our failures... 

If you will recall, this is the same pose that Jan and Judson successfully completed in the above picture. We definitely struggled with this one. I was supposed to be airborne but Rich didn't know quite where to put his hands... the only option for a good balance, we realized, was on my butt and I think my parents intimidated him :)

I think it's clear what happened here. Don't worry, no one was harmed during Wife Balance.

 If you think these poses are easy, think again.

We kept telling Mom and Dad they should try and they kept refusing. But then about 30 minutes later we caught them in their room trying out poses and laughing hysterically.

If you're bored on a Friday night, keep Wife Balance in mind. 

There is also Wife Toss (fun too, although harder to judge) and coming soon,

Wife Relays.
