***** comments *****

The High School Youth group from our church was doing a 24 hour fast drive to raise money to help stop hunger. During the day, to keep their minds occupied, they went to various locations to do fun things. One of the stops was at our house for a simple game of running 20 yards, picking up a bat, and spinning around the bat 3 times, then back.

They had fun, and so did we in watching! ;^)

This is certainly a last minute entry for me. I'm usually finished with challenge entries the first day or two.

Lol, I asked myself that question before I clicked on the thumb, and instead of finding out what they are doing I found that the title repeated my question.

They are certainly doing something odd, but I'm not sure it makes them and "odd couple".

This is so funny to watch! At the local ballpark they do this and then make the participants run and catch the mascot. They can't hardly stand much less run. It's soooooooooo funny!
