"Sweet Home Alabama" at the Hege Farm



We have been here in the States for more than 2 years now and this is the first time that we have had the chance to hang out and listen to a band play again. Yeah yeah... we have been to other concerts like the Hospice concert and the Block Party of last year, but we were volunteers during those times so we weren't really able to "chill out" as much. At the Hege farm, we were also surprised to know most of the songs that the band played (usually people enjoy it more that way don't you think?). Since the kick off, this was the first time everybody had to meet again. We got to know a few teams like B.A.S.H.(with their little Andrew) and Red Bull Addict Dave (hehe). Overall, we had fun partying and networking, but our team captain had too much to drink (as you can witness from the video) so we had no choice but to leave early. By the way, sorry if the video made you a little dizzy, the cameraman tried his best to stay sober and keep his hands still.... but hey, it was a party, so I guess we can't blame him if he can't help it eh? =)

This one with George Hege.....
and the band of course... you guys were GREEEAAT!
Feels like singing again... Sweeeet-home-Aaa-la-bama yeah yeah yeah

Just chillin' Out

ROTT TEAM AT THE KICK OFF

Wow! Another year has passed and we are, once again, at a kick-off of the CYP Amazing Race challenge. It's like deja vu all over again!!! Just like last year, a lot of teams were pretty amazing this year, lots of fun and truly creative. Too bad, none of them were familiar faces from before, uh, except of course for you Valerie and Melissa... we would recognize you guys from miles away, even with your backs to us hehe (hey, can we get points for that???) But wait, there's Jessica from last year's race too! She is part of the Damsels in Success this time around (we just found this out while we were chatting at the kick-off this year). There were a loooooot of people who joined last year, so most of them we won't be able to recognize AT ALL... EVER!! (and I'm sure vice-versa too haha... Uh, Hi again Jessica!) So good luck to all the teams at play. Our team captain is looking forward to meet all of you (and that's an order!) Let the race begin!!!


Made a stop at Marsh first before going to the kick off. A lady smiled at us and called our names. Right then we knew we were famous (Duh! Our names were ON our shirts that's why!)






"Of course I'm officially part of the race. Can't you see my I.D.???!!!"








This was our take 4 of 6. Hmmm... I wonder who's the fussy one out there?
