A Wintery - Wacky Time!!!

Last night, (Feb. 17) was a very special Family Fun night at 1BL! Every 7 weeks we gather parents and kids together for a time of fun, laughter, learning, and celebrating. Last night was one of those nights. In honor of the Winter Olympics, we hosted our very own "Wacky Winter Family Olympics." Families were divided into 3 teams (Germany, Canada and Russia) and we played "hockey" built "snowmen" and through thousands and thousands of snowballs at each other! (And the Fellowship Hall doesn't look any worse for wear today I might add!) Take a look at some of the fun we had!
Making a Family Flag together!
I know it may not look like it from this picture, but here we are "building snowmen!" Each team had a snowman to fatten up using as many balloons as possible. Our good natured snowmen, KC, Shelly, and Pastor Brent!

Lily grabbing up some snowballs to throw at an opposing team!




This is where one of the teams almost got disqualified :)










"I don't remember Ice Hockey ever being this messy before!"
At the end of the evening, each child received a MEDAL for their excellent participation!

Thanks everyone for coming out and "going for the gold!" We hope you all had a great time. See you next Wednesday at our "regularly scheduled Kid U Program!"
