Life Isn't Measured by the Number of Breaths You Take, but by the Moments that Take Your Breath Away

Fear Factor: GrandDaddy-Daughter Edition


 

I have to say, the Activity Day leaders here in the Hill Country ward outdid themselves with this activity. The girls got to bring their daddy, grandpa or other fantastic male role model of choice to be their partner is a fearless night of Fear Factor - Activity Days.

Our fearless team:


Our fearless girl:


Our fearless granddaddy:


Together they bravely met each of the terrifying tasks below.

1. Sweet or Sour, or, as Hunter likes to call it, The Queasy Face Challenge
Each girl and her daddy had to suck on a sour candy and whichever team made a "queasy" face first was out. Hunter and grandpa tied another team for first - no queasy faces made. Woohoo!

2. Ready-Aim-Shave
Each girl shaving creamed up her daddy's face, then flung Cheetos toward them in hopes of having the most Cheetos stick to the shaving cream. Once the Cheetos were counted up, the girls got to shave their daddy's faces clean. SO fearless. The final count - Hunter and grandpa: 2 Cheetos.



2. Lucky Taste Testing Challenge

Each fearless player picked a number at random to taste one of these yummy concoctions.

yuck - grapes, split pea soup and fish eggs:


yuck - cottage cheese and ketchup:



yuck - cranberry sauce and garlic:


yuck - split peas with olives:


yuck - sweet potatoes mashed with anchovies and seaweed:


yuck - mashed hot dogs and garbanzo beans:


yuck, yuck, yuck. Hunter got to taste the cranberry delight. Grandpa enjoyed the delish hot dog superfly.  Did I say yuck?

3. Spiders, Frogs, and Lizards
So this time they got to search for creatures in the slimy noodles. 


Together, Hunter and grandpa found eight frogs and spiders to secure FIRST place!


4. A Swingin' Relay Race
Ok, you just have to see this one to appreciate the level of competition here.

The refreshments were so deliciously scary.


The rewards were sweet.


And the friends were even sweeter.
