Happy Birthday, Rebekah!

Rebekah decided to have a party at the house this year, and the main event was the "Bigger or Better" scavenger hunt. If you've never played it, it goes a little something like this. There are two teams, both of which start the hunt with a paper clip. Then the teams go around the neighborhood, knocking on doors and asking people for something bigger or better than the paper clip. If the neighbor has something, then the team trades the paper clip for the item. And the process continues like that, trading for bigger or better until the time is up. Here is what the teams came home with:

The birthday girl's team brought home a working bike (which you can't see because Joanna is riding it and the whole team is surrounding it).

The other team came home with a grill and a training toilet. Apparently the people at the door right after the training toilet didn't want to trade....they just wanted to give the bigger or better item. I can't say that I blame them.

Now this might sound like a really fun game, right? Yeah, it was. A smarter person than me might've thought it all the way through to the point at the end of the hunt when there are these huge items on the front porch that she didn't know what to do with. But not me. And then there was the part about how do you decide what's bigger or better between a grill/training toilet or a bike....which team wins? Luckily some quick thinking solved both dilemmas. The answer was, the first team to get rid of the stuff wins. Hehe.

In any case, the party was fun, and I think Rebekah had a great time. I'm so proud of her and the young woman that she is. She is so smart and capable of doing anything that she sets her mind to. She is very determined and eager to do the right thing. She is loyal to her family and friends, and I'm so happy to be a part of her family!
