Donut Eating Contest

On June 8, the Nostalgia House and Bakery, located next to the dance studio, held their first donut eating contest.  The boys wanted to participate.  It was a $1 entry fee for a 2-pound donut. 
When we arrived they found out they were supposed to have signed up before the event, but were lucky some entrants never showed, so all three got to participate.  Children 13 and younger only had to devour a 1-pound donut.


 These are the 2-pound donuts.

 GO!  AND, once they got into their donuts, found them uncooked and raw and disgustingly runny.

Ethan's was so uncooked he couldn't get past the first couple bites.  Evyn's mouth was so full he couldn't chew what was in it.  Ian picked through all the raw dough, as one of the ladies said to not eat it.  He did the best he could and tied for first place.

Ian tied for first place in the first donut eating contest.  The other guy ate the entire thing, runny dough and all.  YUCK!  Their time?  Six minutes and twelve seconds.  What do they get for it?  Bragging rights, their photo on the wall in the shop (until someone beats them), a dozen donuts to take home (free), and a t-shirt with their name on it.

Relay for Life

Amber and two other members of her Performance Team performed at the Relay for Life this morning. It was a last minute thing, so they didn't have all six members of their team.  But, even though they were three members shy, the girls did a marvelous job representing their school, Just for Kicks.


After performing, Amber and I went over to the big HOPE sign and wrote on her Grandpas' names.  They are located on the E, in the center of the bottom bar.  She couldn't write, so I did ti for her.


Before the girls were called to gather for performing, someone had a bubble machine going and Amber went and chased bubbles.  I was only able to get a couple shots, but this one was so pretty!
