Duppa 2011

Duppa was December 3rd this year.  It was kind of a miserable night out,  rainy and cold  but was definitely warm inside.  We had 6 little girls and 1 little boy.  Some day he may be happy about that but since he was only a couple of weeks old I don't think Wyatt cared.    Here Angie is reading to some of the little ones.  We had a really good supper. All the regular Swedish stuff plus lots of extra goodies. Jeanine made the Ostakaka this year and it was really good.  Think she may have inherited the job. It doesn't hurt that she had fresh milk and eggs.  
All the little ones were really good.  This is Olivia.  Cutie pie.
Little Marley Rose.  Another cutie.
I was in charge and we played Minute to Win it.  Here Adam is trying to  do the Stack Attack game.  Sadly he didn't make it.  However John did.  You can see my two helpers in the back ground.  Ellerie was the score keeper and Van White (AKA Dan) was my lovely assistant  and the official timekeeper.
This game is called Noodling Around.  The object is to pick up 6 pieces of penne pasta with a piece of spaghetti in your mouth.  No hands.  Brianne tried it here and was really close but some of the older contestants ( I won't name any names but the initials are LLE) wanted the stool up a little higher so we let Brianne try again and she made it. 
Jeanine and Katlin trying a game called Spin Dr.  Try to stop a spinning quarter on its side.  They did it with only 2 seconds left.  Whew!  Close one.
Here is Shane trying to do This Blows.  The object was to blow 10 cups off the table with a balloon.On the real show they have to do 30 cups.   Guess he isn't windy enough.  Cindy tried  after him and was done in no time.  And this girl has asthma?  She sure blew him out of the water.
 This game is called On the Rebound.  The object is to bounce a ping pong ball on the floor to hit on the backboard ( clipboard) and have it go into the basket. You had to do it  three times.  This was hilarious.  Donnie and Angie are trying to get in the right position. 

We had a really good time and a good turn out.  Glad my turn is over.   Connie is up for next year.
