'Fun'-tastic Friday

Jess & Caleb participated in Fun-tastic Friday today with the other 6th-8th graders at church. They broke up into teams and competed in a game called BIGGER or Better. Each team began with one penny and had an hour and a half to trade for something BIGGER or Better. They had to make at least five trades. The winner would be the team with the BIGGEST or Best item at the end.

1. Caleb and Jess' team traded their penny for $1 with a lady at CVS.
2. Traded the $1 for a can of pineapples at a ladies house.
3. Traded pineapples for a large can of sliced tomatoes.
4. Traded the tomatoes for a carton of mangoes.
5. Traded two mangoes for a large pizza.

So their final items were a carton of mangoes (minus 2) and a Large Pizza. The winning team's trades went like this:

1. They traded the penny for a carton of Dr. Pepper with the Dr. Pepper guy at Quik Trip.
2. Traded the carton of Dr. Pepper for $70 with a guy driving a Hummer at a construction site.
3. Traded the $70 for an ice chest full of drinks and snacks with a realtor at an Open House.
4. Traded the ice chest for 3 brand new remote control cars.
5. Traded the remote control cars for a TV with DVD player.

Only in Plano, in 90 minutes could you go from one cent to a TV with DVD player, . . . oh, oh and they got the 'Over the Hedge' DVD too! After our BIGGER or Better game we watched 'The Bee Movie' and finished the day with a game of Killer.
