Each challenge was named after a book to follow along with the fact that we were raising money for the Poynette Area Public Library. I’m going to blog about each challenge – the clue to find the challenge, the challenge itself and exactly what each team had to do at each challenge.

Frost your way to the back area of the apple store and get yourself out of a doughy situation.

On a side note…Capri and Cedi each ate THREE of the six donuts for their team…and they didn’t get sick.  Unbelievable!  It took them awhile but they sure were troopers ;)  Not sure if this is a ‘proud’ mama note or not…
