AWANA Family night was so much fun!

Last night we had the AWANA kick off family night event at our church and we had the BEST time! They had several games and divided us up into teams. We (our family) was on the green team along with the Sawyers, the Sauls, the Herring's and a few more it was a GREAT team! We played against the blue team and we just knew we would beat them without any problems....well we were WRONG!! They ended up beating us by several points but it was still something we all had a great time doing. The theme this year was Family Olympics and let me tell you the games were hysterical!! We started out with an oreo cookie twist, followed by a balloon popping game where each balloon held a piece of a bible verse and then you had to put the verse together, then we had a paper airplane flying contest, a make the bed as fast as you can contest, a bubble gum blowing contest, and finally my personal favorite (because I wasn't in it) a baby food feeding contest. You should have seen Mary Jo and Breanna feeding each other and eating the baby food! I laughed so hard I had tears rolling down my face before it was over! Of all foods one of the ones they chose was carrots!!! I could NOT believe that they had chosen those for the teams and neither could Mary Jo, the first thing she said was "Breanna, I get the bananas you get the carrots"!! The looks on their faces were priceless to say the least. After the games were over, we went into the fellowship hall and had supper and the food was beyond excellent! We did an ethnic theme to the food, since it was the Olympics, so we had several Mexican dishes, some Italian food, a few Chinese foods, and several great desserts. My personal favorite thing was some kind of dessert that Amy Axtell brought, everyone wanted the recipe and I plan to e-mail her in a minute and get it from her, it was awesome! I think that everyone had a great time and I hope that it really geared everyone up for the coming months of AWANA. I think that our group has really went down in size but I know that whatever God's plan for us is in AWANA will happen this year.
So overall, we got beat and had to go through the line of food last but it was worth the wait! The games were awesome and the fellowship was wonderful! It was all in all a GREAT family fun night for the Webbs.
