Due to our family's love of CBS's Amazing Race, we duplicated it for part of Emma's birthday party this year. We brainstormed how to implement the race within the confines of our neighborhood and I think we were pretty successful!
Carl took the logo off of the website and created clue envelopes with Emma's name on them for the teams. We had 2 teams of 6 that ran for the next "clue boxes" and had to perform challenges in order to move on. Some things they completed: skipping or walking backwards the entire way to the next stop; completing a 100-piece puzzle as a team; climbing the neighborhood park apparatus while all tethered together; putting a golf ball in a bucket; eating 3 saltine crackers each within 1 minute: very fun. The pitstop was our front porch, and Kenton was very excited to play the host and stand at the mat.
Just a few pictures from the day:
What a great shot of all the girls! I know Katelynn had a blast at the party and loved having Emma over yesterday. Love the blog!
