TFI 2008

The annual Thomas Family Invitational was held while we were in Utah. All the events were fun, here are the highlights.



Abe chose to play Mini-golf. And he should be congratulated for winning his own event.

Kate chose to play hide & seek. Jen may not have had the greatest hiding place, but won nontheless.

Grandpa chose to play Trivial Pursuit. And after leveling the playing field, Aaron proved his superior mental skills and won.

Aaron chose Chutes & Ladders. Thanks to Lis's new condo on the third floor she must be very skilled at climbing. She won this event.

Jen chose to play Yahtzee. Always a classic, this event was won by Tiffani.

Matt, as always, chose poker for his event. However Andrew came through with the victory in this Texas Hold-em nail-biter.

Tiffani brought back Shut-the-box. And as the person who introduced this game to the family, Paul came out on top.

Paul introduced to the TFI a silly game called Killer Bunnies. A riot of a game that anyone can play and anyone can win. But, Aaron won.

Grammy inflicted an 800M speedwalk on the TFI this year. And again, after the playing field was leveled... Abe came out as the speediest walker.

Lis, the avid outdoorsman, chose Go Fish. Tiffani was the best fisherman in the family this year.

A spontaneous event, the RUN, was an all out sprint where the fastest Thomas captured an extra bonus point. Andrew squeeked out as the fastest Thomas.

Sara wanted an event where strategy came fully into play; 'battle' (aka Rock/Paper/Scissors) The victor of the massive Thomas family 'battle'... Grammy!

The Signature TFI event, UNO was Andrews choice event. And like Abe before him, Andrew won his chosen event.

Without winning any events, but a competitor in all of them was the TFI 2008 Grand Champion... Kate Congratulations.
