national cornhole tourney

Just finished the National Cornhole Tournament on the National Mall.

12 sets of boards. 26 teams. Double Elimination. Championship match.

It was 85 and clear skies as the Uganda team arrived mid-morning on the lawn just in front of the Capitol to set up for the tourney. Felt good about the turnout, felt great about the competition, felt even better about donating every penny to the project cost of building a classroom for Watoto Ministries in Uganda, a family-focused foster-care ministry reaching hundreds of children. It's pretty phenomenal. It's worth reading about.

My cousin Joel was my partner and we were in it to win it all. It came down to the final two teams, somewhat humorously an all-family affair. We squared off against Mark and Rob, my cousins.

Great day. Great cause. Great fun.
