Funkle BenCon

     This past October, Ben came down for Funkle BenCon. This is the third year we have gotten together for days and nights filled with playing board games, catching up and just enjoying each other's company. Funkle BenCon has become something that we all look forward to every summer. We don't tell the boys when it is so it's a surprise. Now that they are older, it's getting a bit harder to keep it from them. They know it's going to most likely happen so they watch for any changes in our routines.

     We decided this year we would make surprise swag bags. Hubby came up with a little logo and then we ran with it.


     I made us all matching shirts. 


     Complete with the logo and names.


     I added a cute little saying on the back.


     We thought it would be fun to make silly name badges. I had the boys think of a silly picture to take. Hubby and I just picked one we had saved on our camera. I used one I took of Ben last year since it was a surprise.


     The last thing we made was some can koozies. I used my Cricut to design and cut out some vinyl. Then I used my shirt press to attach the vinyl.


     I think they turned out really well!


     I wasn't very good at taking pictures this year, but we all had a good time. 

     We played some board games 



     The guys all played with an RC car


     Made some videos for Ben's YouTube channel SnowBoardGamer 


     Got a little milk shake


     And just had an over all fun time hanging out and catching up. Chewy even made a new best friend.
