Due to beautiful weather I went on yet another picnic in the park with some alumni from the Art Institute. We stayed out till midnight without a trickle of cold weather! We had a bbq and played lawn games.

My friends introduced me to this game called "Kubb". Basically, Kubb (pronounced koob) is tossing sticks at another teams wooden blocks (Kubbs) and the first one to tip all the other teams wood, wins. Kubb is a traditional Swedish yard game game played by Vikings over 1000 years ago. In fact, Kubb has even been called Viking Chess due to the strategy needed to really play.

The last event of the evening was a men's wrestling tournament...
