Last but not the least, we prayed for safety, guidance and to win the Fam-O-Lympics.”

how i wish there were family activities like this one when I was a kid… it will surely be a great way to bond!
Tiring!
Perspiration… all over your face and body!
But what’s important is the FAMILY bonding and
the enjoyment that this activity brought.
“activity has brought”

The ‘mind-reading’ sounds interesting. But the ‘buddy system’ proved the winning.
