We had a blast and beat the 7 other teams pretty cleanly. Fun was had all around. Here’s a shot of me with our tropy at the end and the dog tags that were given to the first place team.

I’d love to post everyone else’s goofy poses with the trophy, but there are privacy concerns, and I don’t want to step over anyone’s boundaries.

I ripped out the liners and then they left dye on my hands all the time (looked super disgusting). I had a brilliant idea:

Why don’t I wash them and get as much of the dye out as possible.

I don’t know why, but I decided to use hot (nearly boiling water) thinking that I could put the gloves on really fast and then they’d be super form-fitting.

Well they shrunk so fast I didn’t have a chance to do anything about it.Ugh.
