He was doing Elton John and he wanted me to be "Tiny Dancer". Long story short... I ended up dancing in a tutu on that New Year's eve. I will have to upload the video to youtube... it was crazy.

One kid dared our pastor to stick his sock he wore snowboarding all day in his mouth. Our pastor did it, and totally threw up afterward. Another kid shaved all his hair off (BIC'd it) except for his side burns. And the worst one was a guy was dared to eat a ladle full of country crock butter spread.... he did it... and regretted it for days to follow. Great memories... thanks for bringing this topic up. Oh also, my ex-husband got shot in the bottom at a paint ball fight and had a permanent dent and discoloration from it. Lots of laughs off that one.

And, Jay, Heather and I still laugh at the fact that your sleeping bag caught on fire. That's what happens when you sleep in a field during youth camp. ;) It was fun shooting you guys while you ran around like chickens with your heads cut off.

Every year, the girls would end the weekend with a massive mud fight at our campground. The guys would feed the mud fight by filling up pails of water and and throwing it in to make more water. One year as the fight was winding down and everyone gathered to take a picture, I had one more pail of water which I threw on everyone right as the picture was taken. Somewhere there's a Poloroid of our youth group with a wave of water hanging over everyone. They had no idea what was about to hit them. Thanks to me.
