Another attempt:

Here's another attempt to get you all to watch my addition - 

THE AMAZING RACE!! 

It's starting this Sunday, Feb 20th!!  This season is all returning contestants (kind of like an All-Stars). There are a few teams that I'm so excited to see again - and a few not so much ;)

 I had to also add this picture below because the top one left out Phil - the host! (My favorite)

Here's why I heart Phil:

"Jeff Probst may have the Emmy, but Phil is the better host. He shows up at various points in each episode to introduce locations, explain tasks, and eliminate the unlucky teams. Beyond that, he just steps aside and lets the show be the star. He never picks favorites and does not interfere with the events of the competition (as Jeff Probst is prone to do lately). Nor does he attempt to outshine the show (as Ryan Seacrest tries to do). He maintains a low profile, moves things along from start to finish, and never overstays his welcome."

GIRLS CAMP 2011!!

Most of you know I'm in charge of Girl's Camp for our church girls (ages 12-18). This is my 3rd year and it takes all year of planning and prepping and breathing the theme! I love every theme we've done ("Life is Sweet", "Heavenly Ever After", and now "My Amazing Race - to become a SOUL Survivor") but this one really is going to be awesome. "Why?", you ask? - because I'm an Amazing Race fanatic (don't you read my blog?!)

Tonight was our Camp Kickoff meeting where I introduced the theme to all my camp directors. Here's the poster I made for the meeting. I also had travel posters all around the room.  I made up this "clue box" that held all the clues with the meeting agendas & info in them for each attendee.

You can't have an Amazing Race without a clue box, right?!

Here are the goodies from tonight-

Each person got a tear-strip envelope with their "route info" envelope, the cd with the camp song and the music & lyrics for it. Then I made them all "world" cookies and themed water bottles.

Here's the "route info" for the night - the meeting's agenda
