First we had a marshmallow gun fight to determine the order the teams would leave in.
Next was horseshoes where every member had to participate until they got one "ringer".
Then on to Newton Dam where they shot at skeet until their team had hit 5, everyone had to try. Boy, could the little gal in green shoot. The second picture is the twins in our ward, Tyler loves these guys.
Their next clue took them to a park in Smithfield to search playground equipment for their final clue. It was neck and neck as they found their clues here, then raced to the restaurant.(Obeying all traffic laws of course)
We got this idea from my cousin who did it as a family reunion, Tyler and I had a great time just watching them do it and we can't wait to do another one. During our drive we were discussing more ideas for the next one.
Last of all we ate at Firehouse and were able to stay there for 2 hours talking--we had all kinds of kids there, from marching band to drama, drill team to the football team. Everybody was included and had a great time. At one point in the conversation we were discussing dancing when all of the sudden one boy turned to his date (his first date) and very loudly and awkwardly said, "So how do you like your lunchcard picture this year?" I still giggle just thinking about it. Not one person laughed, they just all turned the conversation to their lunchcard pictures--what great kids.

Oh, the horrors of lunch-card pictures! I think you guys are pretty cool for doing this. You still act like you're in high school sometimes, so I'm sure you fit right in.
I can smell what my feet would smell like in jelly shoes without having to actually wear them. Too bad you didn't keep the ones we had when we were younger!
If you start braiding jelly bracelets up your arm I'm going to have to intervene.
What a fun activity I bet you guys are great leaders.
Katie,
That sounds like a great idea for an adult group date. We'd love to participate. I bet the kids had a great time.
That looks like a ton of fun. Good thing Tyler has a great wife to plan it all. :) I think we should do that sometime. That would be a ball. I can say right now if we do it Matt will have a really hard time obeying all traffic laws.
I love it, what a fun idea! I am still laughing about the lunchcard pic conversation, that is soooo cute. About the Jelly's are you sure you want to go that route? :):)
What a great idea! Lunchcard pictures, oh the horror! That's great they could all get along so great even with all the different interests. And I love Firehouse, so good. Way to go pregnancy blood hound! You know what I'm talking about.
OH my gosh Katie, I LOVE YOU!"my feet would sweat like a whore in church". I need someone saying things like that to me while I am sweating my guts out running! I laughed so hard. I can't believe the twins are old enough to date! We have been gone WAY TOO LONG!
Hey Katie. Holly has a blog but went private and wanted me to give you her e-mail so you can e-mail her your e-mail address so she can invite you to her blog. She told me to spread the word so I'm spreading away. Are you moving or not? I got a yes from Jill but a no from Darcie. Hmmm.
Yeah, so the point of that comment was to give you her e-mail address! I'm a dork! Here it is hollystreaker1@yahoo.com
Katie what a great idea. Nate is checking it out for our YM. I might call you for some ideas.
