Everyone likes a good challenge

 Last night I went on a date that ended up being a blast! The girls in my apartment asked guys who didn't know each other, minus Ben and Aaron who are roommates. Let's introduce you to the group.

Now that you know everyone, you can obviously tell the Frog team was the best one and they were bound to win from the beginning. 

The night started with some pizza from Pizza Factory. I would highly recommend their BBQ Chicken. Mmm mmm good! We had some lovely entertainment from Derek and I think JD and Stephanie's faces say it all.

Our battle began with round one. The Lego challenge. Unfortunately, our first and second place groups destroyed their masterpieces before I got a picture, but lucky for you here is the third place creation!

Yay for Laurie and Ben!

These two won. Mostly because they had a motorcycle in their bag.

Round two was probably the most epic of the entire night. We had to get 6 Swedish Fish out of a pie tin using only our faces. Let me tell ya flour plain is DISGUSTING! Naturally the girls went first. Congrats to Sarah for being the fastest!

We were a bit of a mess

Derek won this challenge across the board. He blew out almost all of his flour right at the beginning and had his fish out in less than 30 seconds. The kitchen was covered in flour. 

Flour was everywhere even on the camera lens.
 

Round three was a balloon challenge. Each couple had to tie their legs together three legged race style. Then each person tied a balloon to their outside the leg. The last team left with un-popped balloons won. We did this one twice. The first time it went fairly quickly, with me and Aaron taking the win, but the second round involved a lot of pushing and shoving to the point where we were concerned for Stephanie's safety. 

Again, Stephanie and JD won.

The fourth and final challenge was cake eating. The boys had to feed a piece of chocolate cake to the girls blindfolded. I learned that I can eat cake pretty quickly; although, it is largely due to Aaron's ability to put cake on a spoon.

I am proud to say that Aaron and I won that challenge

Here are some random pictures from the evening.

The overall victors of the evening were...drum roll please.

Stephanie and JD!! I think they won because they brought so much sass to the table. 

All in all it was a fun evening, one that won't soon be forgotten.
