Do You Want to Play Cornhole?

There’s a south Austin venue that has just recently been discovered. It’s has a great atmosphere, with a country feel to it, and tons of activities. There are volleyball sand pits, washer tossing rings and cornhole boxes, along with a ton of sitting areas and even food trucks. The owners are definitely business savvy because each time we go, they’ve added more benches, lighting and new games to keep people coming back for more.

Devil and his buddies have been playing Cornhole, or as I like to call it, “Bags”. Basically, you toss a bag 20 yards in front of you and the object of the game is tossing it into the hole in the box. There’s a point system and it’s quickly become their obsession. It’s so much of an obsession that Devil built a set and ordered bags online within the first week of discovering the game… now, I’m lucky enough to have it in my own yard. lol. His buddies have been driving out to our place just to play Bags for weeks now. Now in the evenings, after dinner, I’m out throwing bags. Yep. I’m terrible at it, but whatever. Sometimes I surprise us both by getting it in the hole, when I have a hard time hitting the box most of the time.

Anyway, Wednesday I spent the morning cleaning the house, and getting it back in order after the big A/C install. There was drywall dust in every corner. Blech! After I finished that I announced, more than once, that I was finished and going to spend the rest of the day on the couch. I planned to do some site work, catch up on emails and do a whole lot of nothing. Around 5 Devil asked if I wanted to go throw bags.. um, nope. I’m still working on doing nothing. Instead he went outside and moved dirt around with the backhoe, then came in and cooked dinner.. I did feel bad, briefly, until I rested my eyes and dozed off for awhile… it was awesome! lol.
