The weather was so nice at our friend Toby's 3rd birthday party we had to play some games outside. We decided to have a 3-legged race followed by one of those baseball races where the kids spin around with their foreheads on a bat and then try to run.
Frankly, the kids were boring. They were too didn't get that dizzy, and even when they did, they still were coordinated enough to run in a straight line. And we didn't want to make them spin so much that they would puke or hurt themselves.
Enter the Dads. They were much more entertaining.

To really appreciate this video, I think you have to watch it 3 times: first for the overall effect, and then to watch Jason (gray shirt) and Dan (light green) each individually.

And then probably a few more times just to laugh at them. According to Dan, there was a brief moment just after he saw Jason go down where he thought to himself, "Yes! I have a chance!" before dropping himself. If you're wondering what Jason is doing, he is attempting to hold himself up by wrapping his arms around the tree. Seth won the race, but wasn't nearly as entertaining.
