We were invited to participate on a team for a local amazing race. The theme for the race was sitcoms. We were assigned "That 70's Show". We made matching shirts that said "We're All Alright" on the front and "Hello Wisconsin" on the back. Our team had three couples - Conner and Jodie Huffaker, Loren and Danielle Noel, and us. On May 19th we met at the starting point, received our instructions and clues and we were on our way. Many of the other teams were more experienced with this race and had strategies and skills. We were just there to have fun and we had a ton of fun. Our goal was to not come in last place. We were solidly in the middle of the pack - not bad for our first try.
Here are some of the other teams:
Home Improvement
Seinfeld
Fresh Prince of Bel Air
The A-Team
We had to drive and walk/run through the city of Idaho Falls in search of items to collect, actions/tasks to complete, and things to take pictures of.

Jeremy and Jodie had to get into a stranger's vehicle and take a picture
We needed a shot of at least six feet in the air - Good think everyone else jumped higher since my feet went straight to the ground

We had to run with someone - not sure if this counted since the runner is across the street from Jeremy
An Idaho Falls landmark
We had to search the Sinclair stations in town for a clue hidden on one of the dinosaurs.
We laughed, got car sick, played on playground equipment, talked to a lot of strangers, solved a few puzzles, and had the best time! We are trying to figure out how to do a mutual activity like this. We think the youth would love it - and we could include service and random acts of kindness for them to do. We can't wait for next year. We're thinking about our team members and strategies already! This was one of the best dates we've ever been on.
