Achievement Days Fear Factor

I was asked if I'd take pictures at the Achievement Days Daddy-Daughter "Fear Factor" activity today. Each daddy and daughter were assigned a color t-shirt to wear. When they arrived they did Mad Libs and guessed the flavors of some Harry Potter Bertie Botts Beans (some of them were gross and I could tell by their faces!). Then we went outside.

One of the games was to crack open eggs and then hand them down a line and the last person put the egg in a cup. If the yolk didn't break they got a point. Messy!! Another game was to see who could chew gum and blow a bubble first. For the next game the dads put rain coats on and held a glass on their head and the girls were blindfolded and given a pitcher of ice water that they had to pour into the glass. After that the girls had to drink a small amount of lemon juice out of 4 paper cups (one at a time). A few of them got lemon juice in their eyes--ouch!

After the lemon juice game they brought out 4 bowls of plastic rats. One person had to pick the rat up with their teeth and fling it across the grass to their dad/daughter who had to catch it in a big bucket. That was hilarious! The funniest game was where one person had to put shaving cream all over their face and the other person threw cheetos at them and tried to get the most to stick! That game was really fun to watch! Who thinks of these things?!?

The last game was pretty funny too. There was a pie tin of whipping cream that had 6 gummy worms in it. The girls had to get the worms out with their mouth and then give it to their dads who had to eat them--without using their hands. Some of the dads didn't like gummy worms so their faces were pretty funny.

It was fun to watch everyone play these crazy games because no one had an advantage over anyone else. There are no expert bubble gum bubble blowers or plastic rat throwers in our ward. And, it was really fun to see the dads and daughters have so much fun together. I'm sure it was a favorite day for lots of them! And three cheers for the Achievement Day leaders (in the last photo). I'm sure they spent a lot of time planning the activity and gathering materials. It was really fun!!
