Eating Contest

TCBC Youth have been locked in mortal combat to determine which of them will emerge as the ultimate champion. They have faced off in events like UNO, Trouble, Musical Chairs, Paper/Rock/Scissors, and Wii bowling, yet nothing prepared them for what took place last Sunday night. The first ever TCBC eating contest featured hotdogs, jello, and peanut butter! Highlights of the contest included stained red jello faces, Eli eating less than one hotdog, and June eating eight hotdogs in one and a half minutes. Here is what it all looked like (current standings to follow the pics):

The anticipation builds

Did I mention there were no hands allowed?

Megan with the best idea of the day, dump it then lick the table

Ben loves his PB!

Eli got more on his face than in his mouth!

Lets just say that Mary had about this much on her plate when she was done too!

Two thumbs up for food contest!

"I'm done" - ummm...no

Did I mention she at 8 dogs?

Chow down!

Eat, eat, eat!

She is a vegetarian... this year.

Last full day at Crossings 09

Another year at camp is over! This post will be mostly pictures since I'm too tired type still. I think everyone had a great time. Highlights of the last day are the boat race, Bible study group relay race, and the missions offering. Our boat (made by Shawna and driven by the Rafferty brothers) actually finished the race for the first time in TCBC history...not near the front, but finished it none the less. Our group really stepped up on the mission offering giving $380.00 to help children in Zambia. The whole camp gave $3800.15 for the week, which means that our group chipped in 10% of the total. I was impressed! I know the group grew in Christ and started to develop ways to go "beyond" for the Kingdom of the Lord.
