F.R.I.E.N.D.S. at Play: January 2020

It's Party Time! Today we're celebrating 15 amazing years of fun, memories, visiting places and experiencing things that we probably would never do by ourselves. But when this crazy group of ladies get together, watch out world. We're going for it! And we're gonna have a ton of laughs along the way.

Over the years our group has changed so much. A few of the original ladies are still here, some have left, some came back. New ladies have come and gone as life allows.

It's fun to look back at the group photos to see all the faces and remember all the fun times . . . Queen Olive Us and F.R.I.E.N.D.S. of the Red Hat Kind began in 2005. Here's a look at the group photos from each birthday party since.

So here we are, 15 years later and still going strong! Definitely something worth celebrating. And as true Red/Pink Hatters, today we're gonna let our "Little Girls" come out to play!

Let's start with . . .

Pin the Hat on Queen Olive

Blindfolded and spun around, we all took turns trying to get the hat on top of Queen Olive's head.

Maybe?

Not so much!

Directionally challenged?

And then, there's that one in every crowd!

Good job Ladies!
Queen Olive has lots of hats to choose from.

Now that we're fully in party mode . . . Let's EAT!

Before we eat, let's give thanks to God for everything

And then we can enjoy -
Salad Bar, Lasagna, Garlic Bread, Grapes

Looks good!

Gather around everyone!

Yum!

After lunch, we headed outside for more silliness and fun . . .

Who can resist a piñata? We started off blindfolded . . .

But it became obvious quickly that we'd never actually hit the piñata. So we tried it with our eyes open . . . And these ladies have some skills . . .

No worries, no injuries other than a little pride.

She's OK!

The final blow!

Quick! Gather up the goodies!

Oh Look! Bubbles!

And Jacks!

All the little girls were having so much fun . . .

Next we watched a video full of memories and happy times from the last 15 years. It's way too long to post here, but we'll show it again sometime soon.

Watching the Video

The silliness wasn't over yet. Next game involved a big ball made from Saran-wrap and filled with little prizes and candy. The idea was for one lady to roll dice while the lady next to her tried to unwrap the ball. Whatever falls out is hers and she can keep unwrapping until the first lady rolls a double. Then the dice and ball get passed around the table so everyone gets a turn. This definitely caused a lot of laughter and giggles.
