Leg 5 Amazing Race

Before the day of Leg 5 I sent out this clue https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B2g_3IEt9IyPNGFlMTIzMGUtNmY4OS00NjMyLWI5NjItMzkzZTkyZjRhZjhl&hl=en_US
We met at the movies to see Megamind – free summer movie and free parking IF you take your parking ticket to get validated. Gratefully everyone did – but me. Sniff, sniff. I was NOT running back with seven children – that was worth $5.

After the movie we went to the beach for some games.

Roadblock – Who thinks he can fly? The first game was to make a paper airplane and hit a target. fly https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B2g_3IEt9IyPODEzZmQ1OTgtMjZhNS00MWRjLTk1YjctM2E3NGEzYmNiMTA3&hl=en_US
 

If you look close you can see the airplane in the clouds.

Next was a detour Search or Draw – the kids had to either draw a person in the sand or find objects to create a person. They did a great job!

The next was a set of four games to earn points for their team. Our groups did the foot race but got side tracked when we pulled out the pudding – we never thought to go back to them.

Who is seeing stars. It was supposed to be Who is not afraid of worms and then have gummy worms in the pudding. It was fun and funny anyway.

After the kids rinsed off and played in the water for a bit we did Who is a good sport? This would have been funnier if the kids were not swimming but the weather was beautiful – it would have been sad not to play in the water. This game involves dumping water on someone’s head.

The last two clues we did not get to but I think up or down would have been a lot of fun – building an elaborate sandcastle or burying a teammate and decorating the sand ie, mermaid or sea turtle. Good listener is leading a teammate through a marked course.
