Gladiator Games

Each year in the office Jeff Strong puts together the Gladiator Games, which is a remarkable act or achievement involving courage, skill, or strength. The games usually last for a week, the office is divided into teams, and each team is set out to do a certain "challenge" per day.

The teams are divided out as such:
Team 1: Lee, Mark, Brandon, Colby, Chase
Team 2: Brooks, Webb, Justin, Kade, Josh W
Team 3: Ryan, Jason L, Kody, Travis, Marty
Team 4: Rhett, Jeff, Ben, Jason N, John, Tyrel

Last Thursday - challenge of the intellect. Asked random questions and whichever team can answer the most amount of questions correct, wins. I believe Team 4 won

Last Friday -
challenge of golfing skill. Whichever team can successfully get the ball in the hole first in the least amount of tries. I think Team 3 won

Today, Monday - relay race feat, run/scoot medley. Start out with the scooter race, one end of the parking lot to the other, next player in the relay runs back to the beginning marker, and the last player races his scooter to the finish line. It was fun to watch except when Travis tripped and fell while he was running his heart out! He scrapped up his arm a little, but nothing serious, he said it didn't even hurt. Team 4 won

Tuesday - hamburger and coke consumption feat. Last year it was by far the grossest thing I have ever witnessed... 2 people from one team competes in this event. the first player eats two jr. bacon cheeseburgers, and the second player downs the coke. So whoever consumes all three first, wins. Team 4 won by seconds!

Wednesday
- challenge of slip and slide wiffle ball Team 3 won

Thursday
- feat of conquering the stick pull Team 4 won

Friday
- watermelon pool challenge Team 3 won

We really need the money so of course I am rooting that Jeff's team does super well for the remainder of the week. As well as he individually does well to support his team; which he is so far... go team go! And Travis' team too!

I'm thinking of starting a blog. A real one. One that makes money. I'm still a stay-at-home mom, but instead of one kid I have 4 now...
