minute to win it

dawson and i were in charge of entertainment for a night while we were in priest lake and i really wanted to play minute to win it.  
i was a little worried about how it would turn out, but it was a success (aka we were all laughing so hard we could barely breathe).  
we did boys vs. girls and when it ended in a tie we decided not to do a tie breaker so that there were no poor losers (ahem the boys) 
because it MIGHT have been getting a bit competitive...

here are some of the games that we ended up doing.
i highly doubt you'll be able to look at these without laughing (or thinking we're crazy)


the cookie challenge:




movin on up:



a bit dicey:



junk in the trunk:


how cute is presley?!  she was better at the games than almost all of us.
pres is the most amazing niece, just wait til you see the pictures of her wake surfing!
we also did the pencil flip and the tissue pull (an epic battle between ty and lauren), 
but we unfortunately didn't get pictures of those gems.

if you want to have a good time i highly recommend playing minute to win it.
here is the link to the games you can play!
