Our last Minute-to-Win-It

We had our final Minute-to-Win-It on Friday...the last day of school, the last afternoon of the last day of school, the last activity of the school year...

I seriously cannot believe I forgot my camera...so these came from my iPhone.  We had the first activities...and I took no photos, since I didn't think of using the camera on the phone.  When Mikayla and Austin got ready to stick their faces in these pans of whip cream, in my desperation, I thought of the phone camera... and I took off running to get it.

The pans had gummy bears mixed in with whip cream.  A partner held your hair back, while the contestants, with their hands behind their backs, tried to get the gummy bears out of the pan and into another container.



They were victorious...actually, I don't even remember who "won" but in my opinion, they all did!




Next:  eating donuts off a string.  A partner held the string with the chocolate donut that had been sitting in the sun, tied on. The partner had to keep a 'stiff arm' while the contestant tried to eat the whole donut...






It was definitely harder than it looked!  I think Chloe was the SLIGHT winner...
Next, gummy worms in chocolate pudding!  
Your job:  using your toes, find the worms, take them out, and put them in the other container.



 Phoebe was digging in..................
 as was my little fashionista, Cameron...............
 and another of our fashionistas, Sabrina!


In the end, I have no idea who transferred the most worms, but  do know these contestants were over at the water hose, washing off their feet!

FUn, fun, fun.... that's what today was as far as the final Minute-to-Win-It!
