Scavenger Hunt!

Well this has been a great weekend so far up here at TTU. My roommate, Joey’s friend from where he lives in Rhea County, TN came up to visit, AND the church I go to up here was hosting a Scavenger Hunt for the college students. I love scavenger hunts! was all over it! — Especially when I found out there was a prize of $200 for the winning team! 

So I rounded up my team, consisting of my friends Sara, Jon, Dallas, and Lauren. And we set out to dominate. We got to the church at six PM where we were given instructions and then all dashed to our cars to go out across Cookeville to find the various things and accomplish the many tasks on the list.

I picked a pretty good team, we’re all very competitive, and Sara and Lauren were on my team for The Black History Month Quiz Bowl (we each won $100 in that!) back in February. Here’s a few shots of us in action, trying to do some of the things on the list . . . .

We had to get a picture of us being serenaded by a complete stranger. On a side note- this guy was a really good violinist!

We had to get a picture of us walking someone’s dog– as you can see, I had problems with this. The dog didn’t take too kindly to me walking it.

We had to get a picture of us on a riding lawnmower . . . none of us had one at Tech so we headed to Wally World! 

We had to get a picture of us all wearing foil hats. Everyone else managed to make theirs look kind of cool– don’t quite know what happened with mine.

We had to take a picture of our entire team standing in a shower

Our attempt at doing handstands . . . look closely and you'll notice the pained expression on my face. Also, during this time Jon accidentally kicked Sara in the mouth.

Our "picture taken in mid-air"-- does anyone else just want to start singing songs from High School Musical when they see this?

 . . . Okay so all that to say that we didn’t win the scavenger hunt. But I can’t remember the last time I’ve laughed that hard- we had so much fun doing it! And also, after it was over the church fed us so that’s always good too- especially because by this point the cafeteria was closed. The church said they should be putting pictures online in the next few days, so be sure to check it out!
