My mom found a project on Pinterest and brought it to our attention. We schemed a little bit, sewed a little bit, and then made a trip to Walmart and Home Depot (one store on one day, and one on another day). It took a lot of time to find the pieces we needed at Home Depot and figure out how to put them together, but we did it. We drove home (in our new car) and congregated in the backyard. There was a bunch of cutting tarp, duck-taping, drilling little holes, and tying string for the next hours.
It took two days, but we did it, and had a bunch of fun in the process.
Here is what we made:

Annie and I sewed different bean bags for each team.
This is the Blue Team:
And the Blue & Red Team:
The point of the game is to throw your bean bag through the holes. You gain points depending on which hole your bean bag passes through (such as 50, 25, 10, and 5). Once everyone has used up all of their bags, whoever has the most points, wins the game.
The game has also turned into a wack-a-pest game. But that can be very painful and get quite wild. Which introduces our next project . . .
Rather then bean bags, we plan to bunch sponges together and soak them in water. We'll use them like water balloons, but reusable ones that leave no mess. Then the painless summer fun can begin!
