"Fear Factor"

Madi is going to be 8 years old this week. 

How did that happen?

When our beautiful little red head turns eight there are several

rights of passage that cannot be overlooked.  Throughout the

next week or two you will get to see several events that

are really important to us!  The first thing she has been looking

forward too, it activity days.  She got to take her Dad to

her first activity last night.  Bless those leaders hearts - they went

to a ton of work.  She had so many details to share when she got home.

But words are just half of it . . .

I'm really grateful we sent a camera to get some of the faces!

The first challenge was to reach into an icy cold tub

and find the right key unlock Bro. Bolton and Bishop.

Their legs are chained together.  There's got to be a "ball & chain"

joke in there somewhere . . .

I think she almost has it . . .

These are a sampling of the refreshment . . .

eyeball rootbeer, crunchy bugs, monster toes and finally wormy dirt cups.

Yummy!

I think it is worth noting that these were NOT the "fear factor" foods.

These are the "Fear Factor" foods.  This tasty little plate consisted of

Cat Food (sticky rice and ramen noodles)

Cockroach (prune stuffed with rice)

Cupcake (her dog helped her frost it?)

There was another item on the plate Madi has simply

blocked out because it was just too icky!

The way the story went was . . .

whatever Kyle could get Madi to eat . . . he didn't have too!

I'm pretty sure he ended up eating most of it!

The last challenge was accomplished by distinguishing what

was "left" in the diaper by one of th leader's baby!

I'm pretty sure it went straight from the baby food bottle to the diaper. 

It makes me feel better to at least assume that . . .

It looks like the evening was smashing success!
