All is fair in LOVE, WAR and BEAN BAG

As Jody, one of our loyal bean bag baseball players always says, "All is fair in Love, War and Bean Bag Baseball". Bean bag baseball is a resident favorite here at Garden Way. The game is a test of balance, strength and a little bit of luck. It is played by the residents throwing bean bags at a bean bag toss and then depending on which hole they make it into, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, HOME RUN, or out determines which bas the residents go to. A line of chairs is in place to represent 1st, 2nd and 3rd and the residents rotate through the chairs as more runs are made. From there, basic base ball rules apply. Two teams play each other rotating through the innings and after almost an hour of play which ever team has the most points wins. Our games get competitive but all the residents have a good time cheering, making jokes and teasing each other over the score of the game.
