I Survived...

...coordinating our church block party.

The key to surviving this event is making sure there's plenty of fun to go around.

Fun Thing #1: 65-foot inflatable obstacle course

That's right, I beat J while racing him on this obstacle course.  He claims that the person ahead of him had just come out of the dunk tank and caused him to slip.  A likely story.

I think I had the most fun while watching adults attempt to make it through the course (and laugh at each other):

Fun Thing #2: Bounce House

Here's the bounce house police officer in action:

"No shoes!  No horseplay!  No jumping on the little kids!"

Fun Thing #3: Dunk Tank

We dunked our new youth director as his official welcome to the church.  Or perhaps to see whether we'll scare him away any time soon.

Other Fun Things: Cotton Candy, Sno-Cones, Popcorn, Spin Art, Clowns, DJ, and a ton of food (it's a church event after all).

It was a fun day, but I'm glad it's over!
