Thought for the Day/Week

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY/WEEK:

"In my view, the Christian religion is most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed...No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people."

~Noah Webster- preface to 1828 Dictionary~

Game Night at the Gerlach's

The trick- without using your hands, get a dab of vaseline on the tip of your nose... on which you then stick a cotton ball...run down to the end of the table, and deposit it... ...into a bowl as quickly as you can. Each team gets 5 minutes to place as many cotton balls into the bowl as possible.

You might ask, "Wasn't that a little embarrassing?" WELL YEAH, IT SURE WAS!


Next, each team had to stack 5 apples, which had to stay standing for 5 seconds. It isn't as easy as it looks!

Alternating hands, as quickly as possible, remove the bottom cup and place it on top, until you've gone through the whole stack.

Each member of the team blows up a balloon, and uses that balloon to blow 12 paper cups off of the table in the order that the cups are numbered. If the team blows one cup out of order, they have to start over again.
Each team has to stand on this cloth, without using their hands, flip it over to the other side and make it completely straight again. Oh yeah, you aren't allowed to step off of the cloth!

Dip a sock in a bowl of water, run to the cup (on someone's head), wring it out, and run back, so the next team member can do the same, until the glass is full.

You might ask, "Wouldn't the person holding the glass on his head get wet?" WELL YEAH! THAT'S THE POINT!

Each team lays across a long tarp, passing a paper plate filled with water over their heads to the next person in line. The refill pitcher is there, just in case there is a spill...and it is rare that someone DOESN'T spill.You know, it's hard to keep a plate perfectly level from the horizontal position...


The adults and children alike enjoyed their time together. Thanks Gerlachs.
