Anyone watch the TV show “The Amazing Race”? Groups travel around the globe, meeting physical or mental challenges. On each show, the last group to arrive at the designated destination is eliminated. Our homeschool group organized our own Amazing Race this past Friday. We had 9 groups of 4 kids each, and our “world” was a local park. We spread all the continents around the park, with a challenge to meet at each stop. Here, Abbey’s purple group is trying to match flags to their appropriate country. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lots of fun trees to play in at this park…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The kids did a LOT of running from continent to continent! <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In Asia, Abbey amazed everyone with her chopstick skills! <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lainey loved the playground…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
let’s run some more…time to put the books of the bible in order.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Payton running with a friend…the race was only for 6th-12th graders. They were bummed. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She climbed up to this slide over and over and over and…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
another challenge – pogo sticks!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ethan conquered the dinosaur rocker!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I had to do it…is this not the cutest thing? Yep, she’s big girl pants all day, every day now. (well, except nap\/bedtime.)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After the race, Abbey’s Jr. High pastor gave a fantastic devotion about the spiritual race we run. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
