Autumn Fun!

This last friday, WOLBI students and staff had some fun together after a hard week of classes, quizzes and exams. It was an evening of costumes, pumpkin carving, food, and so much more. Everyone  had a really great time at the Somewhat Annual WOLBI Harvest Bash!

Contrary to popular belief, the Deans at WOLBI do not necessarily completely retain all of their mental facilities 100% of the time. Therefore, any event the Deans are involved is bound to be ridiculously fun as the students soon found out at the Harvest Bash. The only requirement for the event was for rooms to dress up in a cartoon theme. Many well-known and some unknown characters showed up at the gym ready for the fun to start.

All the crazy characters!

The Justice League: Superman, Batman and the Green Lantern (Mr. Ward and his sons)

The Fairies from Pixie Hollow (left to right) Allison, Brittany, Sarah and Cassie

(left to right) Megamind (John), Metroman (Jonathan) and Bernard (Robert)

Some of the other folks who made it out included Dumbo, the Grinch, Arthur, Eeyore, Goofy and a host of other cartoon favourites.

The schedule looked something like this:
                                    Corn-Chucking at the Reiders (not the actual Reiders but some caricatures)
                                    Pumpkin-Carving Contest
                                    FOOD!
                                    Pumpkin Puzzle Contest
                                    Pumpkin Guts Grab for Prizes
                                    Pinata Fun!

Corn-Chucking at the Reiders involved throwing a corn-on-the-cob into the mouth of one of the caricatures of the Reiders. The guys and girls lined up and each group tried to get as many points as possible in a short amount of time. Up next was the classic Autumn activity, Pumpkin Carving. The students quickly got creative and even ambitious with their designs. After that, since this was a WOLBI event, everyone took some time to enjoy some snacks and drinks and just hang out with friends. But things quickly became competitive with the Pumpkin Puzzle contest. Each team cut up a pumpkin into 25 pieces. Then the teams switched places and each team had to put the pumpkins back together again using only tooth picks. With all this pumpkin cutting and carving there was plenty of pumpkin pulp to go around, so the Deans planned a special game. They filled a large bucket with the pumpkin pulp or "guts" and the students had the pleasure of searching through the pumpkin "guts" for various prizes, including free van runs, get-out-of-study-hours free cards and even some TimCards. The night ended with some pinata craziness as the students discovered their skills or lack thereof, with a baseball bat.

Overall, everyone had a fantastic time, enjoying not only the great activities, but also spending time together.

    At  Word of Life Bible Institute, every day has potential for adventure.

 Every day can be exciting. Every day has the potential of life.

Imagine one year that could change your life.

It's more than a motto.

It's a principle.

 "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it

                                       more

     abundantly."

- Jesus

John 10:10
