A Cornhole Story

Early into the trip, Andy decided he wanted to build his dad a cornhole set, a lawn game popular in the Midwest. So he drew up plans, and he, David and Marty headed out to Lowes. After all the cuts were made (with a little help from the guys building the house across the street), the set was ready to be painted.

Unfortunately, the paint they decided to use took about 10 hours to dry. But after using fans, a portable heater and letting it sit overnight, it was ready to be sanded.

Next came the cornhole bags, which Jill and Jan spent about four hours making.

Unfortunately, those bags split. So everyone got involved making a new set of bags just hours before the birthday cookout.

And this is how Andy introduced cornhole to Boston.

Instead of a quote, this time, you get a song. (I bet there’s a way to post YouTube videos onto this blog but I don’t know how. So just click the word “song.”)
