This morning was the Operation Christmas Child table in the church foyer, then church service, then 4th and 5th grade Sunday school. The afternoon was lunch and set up for the Water Walk, then the walk itself, then a meeting for another church related thing, followed by running home for long enough to grab some dinner. And, this evening was a game night with the youth group. Obviously, I am a fool to associate Sundays and rest! Lol.

They were divided up into teams as they came in the door, and then we did some version of just about every game show ever invented. Okay. Not quite. But, The Amazing Race was one of the longer events...and it was scheduled to last seven minutes. Of course, it lasted longer than that, because, well, it's a long ways across the parking lot to get from the gym to the activity center, and back to the main foyer, and back to the activity center, and back to the auditorium.

The final game - after much running across the parking lot - was an American Gladiators style set-up in the auditorium, and it was actually quite impressive. Let's just say that there are quite a few youth leaders who like the idea of compressed air powered anything. "Needing" to be able to shoot things from the floor up to the balcony...was a good excuse to get creative.

Exhibit A: the gun in the picture above (with the winning team for the night) shoots tennis balls. Who needs a slingshot when you could use that instead?
