You've got a minute to win it!

Last weekend, we camped with some friends in the Catskill Mountains.  While we usually have no problem filling up 2 days with swimming, eating, hiking, and euchre, we decided this year to put on a freindly competition like the TV show "Minute to Win It."  Here are some pictures from our event:

This challenge was where you had to roll an egg to the edges of a tray to pick up 3 stickers.  No one successfully completed this challenge!

This one was easy - blow a pingpong ball from one cup of water to another.  Next time, the cups are going further apart!

This seemed to be a familiar one for many of the guys - flip a cup onto a beer bottle!

This challenge provided us with the funniest pictures.  You needed to get a slinky to

stay on your forehead.  Not easy, as you'll see!

One of my favorite shots!

 

What's cute about this one is look at the next picture. 

That's John's wife and daughters watching daddy!

Jordan, Jacylyn, and Jade (the Big Sister)

I almost got it!

Flip a pingpong ball from a towel into a milk crate.

Not as easy as it looks!

This one you had to bounce pingpong balls out of a kleenex box that is

taped to your behind.  How you get them out is up to you.  (Perhaps here is where I should

post some video).

Blow a cherry so that it swings back into your mouth.  This

one's fun just for the pictures!

Last time's the charm?

Well this will be my last trip to Texas for awhile.  Three times in one summer is enough!  Chris and I do have a trip to Houston in January for business, so maybe we'll swing by Ft. Worth then.  Besides the kids will be here in September and December, so I will get my "fix".  Here's some pictures from last week's trip!

I had bought these Asian outfits for the girls.  They had a great time dressing up!

One of the few pictures where they stopped moving for a minute.

 

What is it about boys and wrestling?

Kai looks sleepy here.  Don't know why - he just slept 9 hours!

Trina and Mika were putting on a play!

Money shot!

Once we were in Texas...

How could we not go see the kids while we were there.  So Chris and I took a day after the seminar to visit my nephew's kids in Ft. Worth.  Is it just me or do they just keep getting cuter???

Look at my tan!

Ben in action (can never get him to pose for a picture!)

Mika dreaming about all the things Aunt Nancy might buy her.

Trina needs to work on being more expressive.  ;-)

Love, love this picture. They were singing "Be Our Guest" from Beauty & The Beast. 

(does it get any cuter than this?)

Mary Kay ranked above Oprah?

At the Mary Kay Seminar last week, we learned more about the amazing Mary Kay Ash.  Whether or not you are ever in MK or buy MK products, Mary Kay was an inspirational business leader that everyone could learn from.  She has the distinction of creating more women millionaires than any other business leader, and her legacy lives on long after she is gone.  The whole seminar was impressive as we joined 8,000+ in Dallas last week.

Here are some pictures from the trip:

The Mary Kay Corporate Headquarters

One of my favorite quotes from Mary Kay

The child of a MK employee created this poster.  Love that they knew confidence and hard work come first!

Congratulations to Michele, Victoria, Gail, Joann, and Shelley.  Thanks Ladies!!
