Cornhole Anyone?

Back in June, we were scrambling to figure out what to get my Dad for Father’s Day. My parents were coming in town to visit  that weekend to celebrate.  It wasn’t until the very last minute that we came up with an idea…  What if we made him a Cornhole Board set for the backyard? It’d be perfect.  So, off to Lowe’s we all went (Dad included!) and we loaded up with wood and 2x4’s.  Sweet husband worked his wood-working magic in the garage and low-and-behold, we had ourselves two Cornhole boards just a few hours later!

That sparked the beginning of the fun…

Next, we ended up making ourselves a set.

Then, my husband took them to an outdoor work event, and a few of his co-workers loved them! They placed orders for their own sets.

After that, we thought… well we should probably provide bean bags to go with these boards. So, I got an early Christmas present: A sewing machine!

Finally, I made my sweet 2 year old cousin a “mini-board” set for his birthday.  He mostly loved throwing the bean bags, but the boards were so tiny that people loved them, too. Of course, I think it helped that they were green & gold! Sic ‘em.

Oh, and he is REALLY into cars and trucks, so he loved driving them up and down the white stripe on the board. Not only is it a cornhole board, but a road too! It’s multi-functional, who knew!? (P.S. How adorable is E all dressed up in his Baylor gear?!)

Okay, let’s take a break from the boards and see pictures from Ethan’s tailgate birthday party that was SO.MUCH.FUN. Shall we?

So fun…. I wish my birthday was in the Fall so I could have a tailgate birthday party, too! Happy 2nd Birthday E!

  3. Love me some Baylor bloggers! Sic 'em!

    (I grew up in WA state, so everybody I know calls the game "bean bag toss"...so when I moved to Texas and everybody called it Cornhole, I couldn't stop giggling. True story!)

    Glad to have found you!
