Of course there had to be an ice breaker... who would have thought something involving balloons could get so violent. This was Kira before the battle. Doesn't she look happy and peaceful?
This was Hannah after the battle. Please compare.
What transpired between these two pics? Two teams went up against each other. There was one person on each team that had balloons taped to them. There were four other people who tried to protect their own person and steal balloons from the other team's balloon person.
It was hard core.
People were rolling around on the ground trying to grab balloons and run them over to their person, pens were used to pop balloons, at least two people were bleeding at the end of it... it was pretty bad.
My favorite mental image was when I looked over and Hannah was huddled in the corner, clutching the one sole balloon we had left in her arms as if cradling her most precious possession.
Oooh babay! Look at that bokeh!
There's this huge tower up on top of this hill. There's 120 stairs to get up the hill, and then within the tower there's this cramped spiral staircase that goes up forever and ever. Just when you assume you'll never make it to the top... it takes five more minutes.
This is the hill leading to the tower.
It's a really pretty view... but through a wire fence.
Now they don't want this tower to be broken into so there's a key you have to get at the lobby which opens up the padlock so you can go in. Eric had the brilliant idea, when half of us headed down, to lock the rest of everyone in. Don't they look diabolical? This is us hiding quietly right around the corner so we could hear them but they couldn't see us.
Then Connor, who had the key, threw it so it was just out of arm reach, but still visible. Can you see it lying on the ground? It's there.
Some of us then played ultimate frisbee! I lost every single game (we played three). Of course, this was when we wanted it to rain and mother nature refused us.
Chris was pretty hard core. Very willing to dive and catch the frisbee.
Chris is my fav part of this pic.
Precious. As always.
I do believe this is Maria the stick girl.
