While the official Honey Badger Holiday Party was a bit later this year, it was still quite an amazing bit of fun! Since it fell at the end of January, we worked in a Chinese New Year theme in some bits. The turn out was pretty amazing, with a steady 18-20 Badgers throughout the entire night.
I was a bit worried since I was hosting this year at my home, but all seemed to go well. I wasn’t sure if there’d be enough room, I still hadn’t purchased a couch, and frankly I’m not the most domesticated guy out there. Once again the team stepped up and chipped in just like during a game and brought folding chairs and countless yummy dishes to contribute to the great time.
We had a games challenge similar to last years, with numerous random activities.
- chopsticks challenge
- sticker stalker
- Chinese Zodiac match
- Mario Kart
- push ups
- drawing a picture
- dart gun (sadly the gun broke?)
- Wii Fit luge
- sudoku
All the games with the exception of the dart gun game went extremely well. Sadly the dart gun broke early on, but not before the Shepherd put on a clinic in accuracy. It was kind of frightening to see, but impressive.
The majority of the guests stayed up until the end when Caitlin and Allen/Scott were crowned champions!
My only regret on the night is that I didn’t take photos! I was so busy keeping track of the events and keeping things going that I didn’t take the time to take any photos.
Overall I’d say it was another tremendous Badger success. I had a great deal of fun and will have to have the Badgers over more often!
