crazy friends=fun times

I am in Destin, Fl with some friends. The friday night we decided to go to an outdoor shopping center to have a lil fun with the general public.
The recipe for fun looked a little something like this:
1 fog horn
15 creative people
and 1000 strangers

We played follow the leader along the sidewalks in front of the shops. It began with just the 15 in my group, but we invited willing strangers to join in and by the end of our parade, we had 40 people!!!!! We also played duck duck goose in the middle of the food court and had a couple of brave soles join in, but the bystanders out numbered the participants.
My favorite "activity" though was a little game we made up with the fog horn. There was music playing along the sidewalks through speakers that were "disguised" as rocks. As "Roxanne" was blaring from those speakers, 15 of us danced down the pedestrian infested sidewalks. When Brock would blow the fog horn, that was our cue to FREEZE mid-fly-dance move. When he blew it a 2nd time we could unfreeze and go about our retro, improv dancing. Sometimes we would hold for seconds... sometimes minutes- either way, I suck at keeping a straight face.




I share this with you to prove a point. We had so much fun!
Fog horn: $5
Laughing so hard while making tons of new friends: Priceless

You don't have to break the bank to have a good time. Be creative and impulsive.
