Instant Challenge update

25% of the score is the Instant Challenge where the boys have 5-8 minutes to solve a challenge they have never seen.  They can't tell us what the challenge is until Globals is over, but what they can tell us is how they think they did.... more on that later.

To "warm" them up (as if the 96 degree heat didn't do that), they line up the teams that go in to challenge at the same time.   (They have many at elementary, middle, secondary and university going on at all times).  During the line up they play music and get the kids to "dance".   We have found out that we are danced impaired (or as the boys call it "fail").  But they did have fun!  They did the chicken dance and a few others.  

Once they are ready to go into the Instant Challenge the teams and parents waiting form a tunnel for them to run through.  It is so fun, but the Nelson's had an extra special helper with the tunnel as they suspended Evy as the roof to the tunnel.  So many people taking pictures and all the teams enjoyed it.

So,  how did they do in Instant Challenge -- they said they did "fine," really, really good, and "we did great"   So it sounds like they did just fine :-)
