This year's Amazing Race consisted of 8 tasks

1) Catch the clock- The clock we were supposed to photograph at exactly 41 past the hour was not working so we improvised.










Team 2












2) Create your own Christmas Lyrics- Make up new words to the song "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", including choreographed dance moves and sing it to Lisa Sauer.







Team 2...actual movies to come later








3) Snow sculpture creation- Each team had to make a train with enough cars to equal the number of team members.



Team 1...tiny, tiny but they finished quick!














Team 2...creativity at its best (using the fire hydrant as the top of the train engine)










4) Pay the price- After reading a historic Wenatchee legend we had to find a pay phone & call Dad to answer comprehension questions.

5) Christmas creations- Each team member had to decorate an ornament that was later judged by the grandkids.

6) It's a puzzle- After figuring out a 16 word pass phrase in order to get the "secret package", we completed a puzzle at the WRAC.

7) Fore again!- Frisbee golf in a foot of snow.

8) Random acts of kindness- 5 random acts of kindness had to be performed at some point during the race. After a little coaxing, this older lady finally let us help her out of her car. Team 1 chose to leave some money at the WRAC so the next person to buy something would get it for free. Guess who the next people to buy something were? A very hungry pregnant lady and her team...yes that's right, Team 2 got a snack while at the WRAC on the tab of Team 1, what are the odds!

Team 1

Although Team 2 won the lyrics, ornament, & sculpture portions of the race, Team 1 pulled off the big win by winning the choreography & time portions. (They beat us by exactly 1 hour.) We missed our other team members (Mindy, Josh, Jason, Alexa, & Adria) but hope this tradition continues throughout the years so we can all partake of it's greatness! Thanks Mom & Dad! It was super fun!
