Team Days that turn into Date Nights!

Yesterday was our team day, which means we have extended TAWG - or time alone with God - and then afterwards we went to one of Dollywood's more fun events called Cirque de Chine. In this show we got to see all kinds of Chinese Acrobatics! It was so cool. We loved going to see it! My favorite was at the end when they brought out a big metal globe and had four motorcycles going around in it at the same time (pictured below). Apparently these kids start training when they're about 4 in China and then get picked to be an acrobat when they are about 8 or so! They all came straight from China so they didn't know much English... The only thing I knew was how to say hello and I can't even spell it! Haha.

Anyway, so before we left for team day, we found out that it was team "date night." This is where a boys team asks a girls team out for the night! We got asked at 1:00 on Tuesday afternoon by opening our door to a towel elephant with sunglasses on with a note that is pictured below! We ten had to go in a scavenger hunt to find these boys and when we found them they sang to us to ask us out on our date! They were so sweet and did a really great job of asking us! After we said yes to their song, we were told to look nice and be ready to have 'cruise-like' fun in Gatlinburg at 4:30!

We met them at the lobby and headed to our secret destination which turned out to be the aquarium! We got to see all kinds of fish and sharks and they even have a Nemo exhibit with all the fish on a coral reef, along with some really cute penguins! I even picked up a horseshoe crab! After that we walked further downtown and they took us to TGI Fridays and after dinner, we split up into 2 groups for a picture scavenger hunt! Some of the items we had to find are pictured below as well - like finding someone's school mascot (we found the UGA bulldog), finding a spiral staircase (there's only 1 in Gatlinburg) and a picture with people in rocking chairs! Needless to say, it was a fun night and our guys did a fabulous job of making a perfect date!
