There are a few anticlimactic holidays in my eyes. New Year’s Eve is one of them. When we woke up this morning, we just wanted to have some fun — so we created Denison Challenge Day! It was a day filled with challenges around town….and of course, there were prizes attached for the winners!
Rock Art Challenge:
We collected rocks for our rock art we were going to create.
Navy’s Art.
Scout’s Art.
Mom’s Art.
Clearly I should have won.
I didn’t.
Scout did.
Navy came in second.
Somehow…I was last.
HUH!??!

Park Challenges
Heat Out Challenge
We told the kids that whomever was the sweatiest in 20 minutes won.
Scout ran with a down coat on.
Pippi covered up in a hot blanket in the sun.
Navy disappeared.
Until we found a random girl trying to climb the play structure, but turned away disappointed. Little did she know she was going to be greeted by the playground troll, who would tell her the rock wall was taken!
Navy’s tarp idea served her well…
and she tied with Scout for the win!

Hand Stand Challenge
It isn’t hard to guess that Dash won this one!
—
Hanging Challenge
Although Navy was impressive in this one, Pippi took first place in this challenge.

All of our challenges culminated that night, at our most delicious Indian restaurant — where anybody with a first place, got a Mango Lassi!
Navy got three!!!

After dinner — we headed to our version of the Polar Plunge this year — the harbor pier. NayNay was in town, and requested the pier…so we were in!
Navy and Scout were both on board…
but ultimately, only NayNay and Scout jumped in.

2020…I hope you are a good one!
(Update: 2020 you were an awful one — maybe the worst on record!)
(2021 — COME FAST!!!)
