This week's activity was a Flintstone Olympics (think Redneck Olympics or Hillbilly Olympics, but with a caveman theme...I guess the redneck thing is a little too close to home out here).
When the girls arrived at the activity, they were placed in pair teams.
Then they went to "Bedrock Beauty Parlor" to have their hair put up in ribbons and little rawhide bones like Pebbles while they got a quick "pep talk" on good sportsmanship.
I put each leader in charge of their own event, and they came up with Bedrock Bowling, a Tortilla Discuss throw, Club Feet Shoebox Shuffle, Dino Ring Toss, and I did the Volcano Drive in with cardboard cars.
I painted these backdrops to make it a little more fun. It's difficult to tell, but they're about 6 ft wide by 8 ft tall. I think they turned out pretty cute...but it could just be my super cute models ;).
A BIG thanks to my friend, Stephanie, who helped me with Wilma and Betty, here. They might not have been recognizable without her help! I need to show Steph what they look like painted and finished, she'll be so proud!
After the events, they decorated medal necklaces and were given rock candy sticks.
I had to miss the actual activity (boo evil illness from the depths of Hell), but from what I've heard so far, the girls had a really good time.

I am doing activity days now to!! We only have two girls, and last week they didn't come....so that was weird.
but I am super excited and also have NO clue as to what to do--our ward hasn't had activity days in YEARS so there is no one to ask.
