Team Kenison!!! Those are some really HOT and SWEATY boys! They should be after withstanding 85 degree weather and high humidity, running from "country to country" and competing in challenges that were not for the faint of heart!
Patterned after the TV show, The Amazing Race, our neighborhood hosted a family event which involved teams with one parent and 2-4 children racing around the 'hood for an afternoon of challenge and SWEAT! (While Reese took a much needed and LENGTHY nap at home....) Mark and the boys ran the race, which was almost an 1 1/2 hours long, and sprinted to the finish line... above...but were a few shy of the medals podium. Those darn clues were a little challenging!!! Interesting though... the winning family happen to be the family whose Mom WROTE the clues... Hmmmm... Cheating perhaps? We would not accuse them of that... well maybe we would! The kids had to compete in mummy wrapping in Egypt... animal hunting in Africa... disgusting noodle eating in China... and many other feats! Our family stayed out of the real competitive group - those who made their children eat the noodles until the puked or yelled at their kids to "DIG DIG DIG... YOU'RE ALMOST THERE... DON"T MAKE US LOOSE... to a child that I thought was going to pass out from heat exhaustion! Let's say that it did not bring out the best side of some really really competitive Dads! For the most part...it was a fun time had by all and then was topped off with a down home pancake breakfast at the pavilion too. We had to skirt out early because it was on to the Middle School Talent Show where Tanner the Magnificent was riding his UNICYCLE... See next post! Everyone slept very well at our house that night!
