At our recent Couple's Retreat, the 24 couples who attended were split up into four groups. One of the games we participated in was a photo contest. Each team was given 24 hours and a list of 20 ways to photograph themselves. Whichever team participated
with the most imagination won. Well, I'm very excited to announce that our team, the "Joint-Heirs" won! However, I WILL say that every team worked really hard and some really great pictures were taken. The winning picture, hands-down, was not even taken by our team. I hope to share that picture with you too, soon... It was a CLASSIC! For now, enjoy these pictures, keeping in mind
what we were asked to do and seeing how we used our creative imaginations to do that. I'll list the items, and then show our team's picture for that item... Oh, and by the way, I would highly recommend this game! It was a great "ice-breaker" and kept us laughing for... well, more than 24 hours!

I'd love for you to leave me a comment and let me know which picture from this contest you enjoyed the most!
Jolene, I LOVED all the pictures. It's hard to pick a favorite. However, the one "making someone appear small" is very creative. Looks like lots of fun! Glad you had a great time.

David posing as a model is CLASSIC!! :) Looks like it was a fun game!
ReplyDeleteI had a hard time convincing Nate (my five-year old) that, in the "making someone appear small" picture, he wasn't really holding her. I still don't think he believes me! :)
ReplyDeleteThe WHBC Youth Department has done the same type of activity before. OBC did the same last year, I believe. I loved it! It was a lot of fun. May the Lord continue to bless your family and the work ya'll are doing over there.
