We started a fun New Years tradition last year with some friends. We started doing the "Amazing Race" with our families. (Thanks Jodi and Rach) This has quickly become something my kids look forward to all year. We all get together and get our envelopes, then the race starts......We have 11 different clues that led us all over Herriman and South Jordan ( I have to figure out how to transfer videos from my phone) and we have to beat the other families. We started off with the dads having to find their initials in plastic eggs, then we headed over to Smiths and bought ice blocks then headed to a park to ice block down the hill. We then were sent to our church where 2 members of each family had to find their family name on a golf ball, there were probably 200 golf balls. Then we headed to the Herriman Cemetery where me and Bronson had to find a headstone with the initial "R" on it. Next we headed to the Grays and had a little obstacle course. From there we went had to drive to 7-11 buy an extra large slurpee as a family drink the whole thing then we were headed to Target. There we had to act out our favorite movie, Riley had to walk in high heels, Addy had to make a monkey sound and Kelly sang "Take me down to a Paradise City...." in the cereal aisle. From Target we were directed back to the Houstons were moms had to bounce a ping pong ball into a red solo cup! AH YEAH my family came in 3rd place!!!!! We had a BLAST! Fun times with the fam.....
