Summer Fun!

by Louise
 



We had a really fun one during the summer...We had a picnic with them, had a bubble gum blowing contest, and then played water volleyball...That is where you have water balloons for the "ball" and each couple has a towel. They hold the towel between them and when a balloon is launched over the net, they have to catch it in the towel and launch it back over. It was so fun...and of course it ended in one of the biggest water fights I have ever seen! We had father's that I didn't have a clue were so vicious and merciless! I was pretty save as I was wielding the camera for memory making photos....Until they held my arms, stripped me of my camera and dowsed me with a 5 gal bucket! We had some unforgettable moments and a lot on camera...then we had a scrapbook night and made pages with our pictures... that was a lot of fun and everyone laughed and joked and shared stories as they remembered how much fun they had! We were able to have it at one of the leaders backyards....One word of advice...bring a lot of extra towels and some garbage bags...(for everyone to put on their car seats to drive home!)

'Jell-O Snarfing' -- hands behind back, equal amounts of Jell-O on each plate, face to plate, and snarf! Person finished first wins.

'Guess Who? '-- we asked the dads ahead of time to tell us one crazy thing they had done when they were younger. We put them on slips of paper and read them one by one, having the girls vote on who they thought it was. One of the dads had held his little sister by the ankle over the toilet when he was mad at her. He's a really serious, nice brother - you'd never think! The girls loved learning about the dads.

'Tapioca Splash' -- everyone's favorite. The fathers lay on their backs, with an ice cream cone in their mouth (opening facing up). The girls stood on a chair over their respective father, with a bowl of tapioca pudding and a spoon. The race was to see who could fill the cone first. Then they switched (father on chair, daughter on floor) They had lousy aim, and it was hysterical.

'Shave a balloon' -- put shaving cream on a blown up balloon. Race to shave it first.

'Food Relay' -- have identical items in two different paper bags. Put one bag each on a chair at the opposite side of the room. Two teams -- One person at a time races to the bag, pulls something out, eats it completely (opens their mouth to prove it), then runs back so the next person can go. We had: a big dill pickle, a juice box, 4 saltine crackers, a banana, a balloon (blow it up and tie it), a piece of bubble gum (chew and blow a bubble), a fruit roll-up, etc.
