Six Pax enjoyed a battle of wits. Brains vs. Braun. Knowledge across four categories of trivia determined the intensity of our workout: Vocab, Proverbs, Exicon, and Jack handy.
Captain Crunch took us on a surprise “no parameters” run across the frozen lake, which included Ninnie Knockers and burpees on the ice.
Valuable fellowship time conversation covered several parenting topics, with several “aha” and “Me too!” moments. Jazz hands told a relatable story about a quick kiss that cost him two hours of sleep.
