An intense free throw shooting contest.
We split up according to age groups and 1 parent could be on each kid's team.
Logan and Dad paired up downstairs, and mom partnered up with Harrison and Mariah.
Logan made 9/10 shots, and Mariah and Harrison each made 5.
This rowdy bunch was too impatient to wait a 1/2 hour to hear the winners announced, so off to Dairy Queen we went.
After all, in the end we're all winners, right?
We hung at DQ until mom got a sugar rush and things started getting out of control!
We headed home praising the Mons kiddos for being brave to try something new.
You can imagine our surprise and excitement when team Mommy/Mariah received a $20 prize in the mail for winning the 6 yr old contest (the rest of her competitors were boys ~ u go girl!).
As proud as I am of my girl for winning, I am most pleased with what she did next. Shortly after receiving her gift card, I read the kids a story from the Friend magazine about a family that sacrificed some of their gifts in order to provide a Christmas for another family in need. After hearing the story, Mariah decided that she would donate her gift card to our ward's giving tree.
Now that is something to write home about! Thanks for your winning example, Miss Mariah.

So the fact that noboby knows how many shots Tyler made would suggest he was the reason that Logan did not win???

Go Mariah! She is turning out like her mom in so many ways.
