*Nice beachy destination not included!

It's been years since I first saw this type of game being played by many tailgaters at a sporting event.  It was one of those tings we always said we'd like to have.  But in reality its big and we don't have any storage space.  But OldBoyGames.com has really fixed that problem.  These all weather units collapse down so they'll take up minimal room at the end of the season but for now we simply collapse them and prop them up (with the bags conveniently stored inside) and store them upright outside.  The boys LOVE this game.  Of course they don't follow the rules and there is occasionally some attempts at defensive playing.  But its a fun outdoor activity that even at its craziest (my kids can make anything rowdy) isn't dangerous.
I love the concentration in Bryan's face in this picture below.
Please note that life jacket is NOT required for this game.  We just happened to buy the jacket earlier in the day for him and he wouldn't take it off no matter how sweaty he got!

Edited to add: after publishing this post yesterday I went home to find out that the older boys got the game out played for close to two hours and then....PUT IT AWAY ALL BY THEMSELVES!!  Apparently the game has magical powers (legal notice, of course it doesn't actually).  Needless to say we're all thrilled with this Corn Toss game!!!
