Making a boat...

Jesse and I help out with the youth group at our church. A few weekends ago we had such a great time with them on the opening leadership night for the 2009-2010 year. Here is what we did... We split the group of kids into 5 teams, gave them each a huge piece of cardboard, ductape, plastic garbage bags and about 25 balloons. They had about 20 minutes to make a boat that they could float on. The team with the most people on at the end of the challenge wins. It was so much fun. We were hoping that some teams would try to cut up the cardboard, but all teams chose to use the flat surface of the cardboard and attach balloons/plastic bags on top of it. It was awesome! The kids had a great time and we enjoyed seeing them work together and grow as a team! We can't wait for this year!
