Essentially everyone wrote challenges down on paper - nothing too hard, we wanted this to be fun. People started to bitch about having to do something they didn't want or worry they were going to get something horrible, or not think of a challenge to put in the box (good thing I wrote down 12!) We folded up the papers, threw them in a box, and a few hours later when we served dessert we started picking out of the box. Adults selected one, the kids selected one, then the adults picked a second one.

- Take something negative out of your life.
