Last Day of Preparations YAY!

Hi everbody!

It’s been a VERY busy weekend to say  the least! We have been at Carolyn’s house for 10+ hours working away.  Here’s a little picture of what happened:
Thursday: Carolyn and Ms. Prince talk on the phone to discuss last minute details of the project (the clues, the tables, the food, etc).
Friday: Kelly has been battling illness but she comes to school in order to help Carolyn (isn't she just sooo generous with her time even tho it is her senior project :p).  We picked up a megaphone from our school’s athletic director (really excited to use it…!). We also pick up 100+ cookies from our cafeteria for our event. Our school kindly donated these cookies to us and we are very grateful!
Friday night: Kelly goes to Carolyn’s house and the work begins! We begin by cutting all the paper in the paper cutter to make it fit in the printer. That’s 80 sheets of paper that we cut! After that, we printed all the clues, in 8 different colors. Then, we had to cut all those clues out too. Luckily our friend Kristy and Carolyn’s cousin were there to help us with all this work. While this was happening, we perfected all of our activities (charades, the song game, trivia, and the ice breaker). Carolyn’s mom went out and did some shopping buying the jump ropes and chopsticks. Not to mention, while all of this was happening, Carolyn’s family was preparing for a party at their house on Saturday where over 200 people are coming! Crazy!
Here are some pictures from our night!









Well now it is Saturday morning and we are still working! We put all the clues in separate enveloped and organized them by team and in chronological order.
Things still on our to-do list:
Inquire about the tables at the event
Make the poster for the sponsors
Make sure all the food is coming to the event
Print the instructions for the activities for the volunteers
Right now it is go, go, go!  The event is actually tomorrow!!!! It’s so crazy! We are unbelievably excited and hope the kids like our event.
Well that’s all for now!
Kelly and Carolyn
