Today my parents and I went down to the retirement home in Cappuccini to do some activities. The activities were treasure hunt, tug-o-war, Foosball, a modified version of horseshoes, cheese rolling (roll of wood instead of cheese), they used blowguns to knock over plastic bottles and a lottery for winning plants.
As we were walking to where most of the activities we saw a couple of groups of kids on a treasure hunt.
We were just standing around when these people got tubes and projectiles and started shooting the projectiles at some bottles on a couple of poles by blowing (Note from Alexandra: basically a pea shooter). Mummy went over to where there was a plant stand and she won.

P.S. From Alexandra:
The reason we called this post "A Ton of Fun" was because the way they handled the tug o' war was that you could have any number of people you wanted to have on your team. The only catch was that your team had to have a mass of less than 450 kilos! This was adjudicated by means of a livestock scale. It was quite hilarious to see the teams cramming into what amounted to a metal sheep pen and being weighed. And then the jockeying began: "You're too heavy, let's substitute..." and so on!
The Foosball James talked about was human Foosball. There were rows of what amounted to short telephone poles that had areas marked on them with foam mats; the players had to stay fixed at the center of their mat and kick the ball whenever it came in their direction. There were a number of other similarly hilarious games.
