Spring Fling Party

 
 
    The weather was cool outside, so we moved our party indoors!
 The residents helped celebrate spring in Texas with food, fun and games.....
Let's do the twist - Jean White and Harry Corn were cutting the rug!

Toss the Ball Contest - Tip Jackson did very well, he showed up some of the ladies.

Laura surprised everyone with a new contest called - Jello Dive.
There were 7 tokens hidden, the jello was really cold!
Residents had the opportunity to find a token in the bottom of a large container of jello.
Those brave enough to stick in their arm, won a prize.

Jerryann Barrackman was one of the first brave souls to try the new contest.
 
Winnoa Al-Jameel never hesitated...
 
We concluded our Spring Fling Event with a Crazy Hat Contest!
Here are just some of the participants.
