1st Annual Cherry Hills Games



Our first afternoon with the kids was awesome! The work team organized the first annual CHCC Games and the kids were divided into 4 teams: Red, Blue, Green and Maroon. We started off with the human knot game where the kids had to grab hands and work together as a group to untwist themselves. The work team split off and had a member working with each team of kids and the teams competed against each other to see who could get untangled first. Then we had relay races with water balloons and air filled balloons. The grand finale was a free-for-all water balloon fight, followed by a sneak attack on Kelly (instigated by Kirk). The very last game was a contest to see which team could pick up the most balloon pieces--clean up has never been easier for the adults!
The work team had the pleasure of joining the kids for dinner at the picnic area and we had our first taste of authentic Filipino cuisine of the trip. Then the winning teams were announced and candy was awarded as prizes.
All in all it was an awesome day and we can truly say that we were the ones who were blessed!
