Drew may not be a dad yet, but he did get some first hand experience last night. Our niece , Emme was particpating in a daddy daughter Olympics at their church. Her dad is a firefighter and was not able to get off work. So Emme asked Drew to be her "Dad" for the night. Drew was honored that she has asked him. It was a really neat and fun experience. I have to say Sharpsburg ward went all out too. They put a lot of time and effort into the evening. They even handed out gold, silver and bronze medals to the top three teams. It was great!

The Case-Marler Team.
Here is Drew experimenting with the hula hoop.
And this is the best picture of all. They look so funny! But, it payed off Drew and Emme won that event. I love it!
Pie throwing contest. Emme had to hit him right in the face to get any points.
And she sure did!
Drew and Emme going through slime to find marbles.
The last event of the night was edible fear factor. Drew had to eat dog food. It really wasn't dog food. It was corn beef hash or something. We think. Drew said it was disgusting, but he kept it down. The other Dad's had to eat octopus. Drew is allergic to shellfish. So luckily he is able to get out of the that. I had a hard time watching them eat the octopus. One of the dads was not able to keep it down. Talk about gross.
And the Gold medal goes to. . . . .
Drew and Emme! I am so proud of both of them. They did a great job! And Drew had a blast. He loved every minute of it. Drew is going to make a wonderful Dad!!!
