GET Gauntlet Games

-


This past Saturday I participated in the Second Annual GET Gauntlet Games.  GET is the Gallatin Emerging Talent, which is basically the young (20 - 40 age) Gallatin Chamber of Commerce group. We meet every other Wednesday at Govan's Coffee House on the Square for an informational meeting.  We have different speakers on topics such as real estate, fitness and mortgages.  We also have weekend events - the Gauntlet Games.

I was on the green team.  Now, I was the oldest person on our team by a full decade.  But despite the fact that I was really awful and uncoordinated, I had so much fun!  Next year I want to get a team from my Sunday School Class to participate.



This is Lindsey and Derek - they are getting married in October.

I would describe the Gauntlet Games as "adult field day."  We had the sack race, three legged race, plank race, water balloon dodge ball, tug of war and the dizzy bat race.



I forgot that the older you get, the harder it is to turn in repeated circles.  I did fall over.










This was the bouncy house slip-n-slide.  You have to successfully flip a cup and then run as fast as you can to the slip-n-slide while be hosed down by the fire department.  This was my favorite!

Even though I was a little apprehensive about playing, I ended up having a great time.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
