Teen Winter Olympics
So we don't ever have any snow in Phoenix. So most of us
don't know what a hat trick is. So the finale of our Winter Olympics was dodgeball. We all
had a blast. From leaping over couches blindfolded to slurping grape juice through a straw
to carrying eggs under our armpits, we had some serious fun. Everyone keep training so
you'll be ready again in four years.

Pictures from the night
Megan sports her jersey, she's ready for the games |
Nick, Bre & Christi try to psyche out the competition |
The Arena |
Trent & John |
Grace, Teresa, Megan & Andy listen to the rules |
Rob & a very surprised Joe |
The couch in the back |
Canadians Jamie Sale and David Pelletier bring in the torch, eh? |
The Olympic flame burns bright in Phoenix |
We broke up into teams by the Olympic sports taped to our backs |
Luckily, everyone came to church that night with sports taped to their backs! |
The course for an intricate and stategic game of "Pass the Hard Boiled Egg in the
Armpit" |
The contenders |
Christi's group plans their cheer |
John's group poses for the press |
Will's group |
Erin's group |
Joe's group |
The groups came up with names and anthems for their countries |
Joe's group |
Fita's group |
Fita's group |
John's group |
And their national anthem |
And another national anthem |
We had a lot of national anthems |
Contestants to the starting line |
This was supposed to be a simple game of... |
..."Lead Your Blindfolded Teammates Over Some Couches... |
...And Under Some Tables" |
It ended up being "Lead most of your team over... |
...tables and under couches while the rest of your team... |
...wanders around aimlessly blindfolded trying to find... |
...the finish line and not get run over by the rest of the... |
...stampeding, blindfolded teams |
An exciting game of trust and teamwork |
I think that it should be considered for the 2006 Winter Games |
Even the cameraman was dizzy and confused by this point |
One team spins on a bat, while another sucks grape juice through a straw |
Like I said - sucks grape juice through a straw |
Joe gulps a cup of fruit |
Stew chews an apple |
Andy sports the new forehead patch - helps you eat apples faster |
Ninja Chris eat many fruit cups |
The Masked Whistler doesn't want anyone to know his identity; that little whistle got
really annoying |
And they're off |
Most teenagers know this race- get dressed in 30 seconds so you're not late for school |
Jump rope like you've never jumped rope before |
Not the most aerodynamic hairdo - but still very, very fast |
The last part of the medley relay was the dreaded Moving Leapfrog |
Each team member runs like mad to the front of the leapfrog line as.. |
...soon as they are leaped over |
This reporter was very nearly killed in the mad leapfrog frenzy that ensued |
Spinning on a bat |
Back to leapfrog |
One of the teams cheering |
Another team not cheering |
Yet another team giving a small cheer |
The final game of the night |
The Ladies Figure Skating Long Program, if you will |
The game that separates the real athletes... |
...from the mere amateurs |
The game where you can live on the edge at the half court line one second |
And feel the stinging pain of a rubber ball to your chest the next |
The game where nerves of steel, heart of gold, and reflexes of platinum... |
...lead to the ultimate reward |
The game where ducking can be your biggest ally and your greatest enemy |
The game all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking... |
...and all the children are above-average |
The game where you must throw with your arms... |
...and catch with your elbows |
DODGEBALL |
Time to tally the points and pick the winners |
He is the egg-man |
They are the egg-men |
I am the walrus |
Koo Koo Ka-choo |
The gold medal winners |
