Giant Jenga Anyone?


In the above photo you see a normal game of "low risk" Jenga as José and Karla enjoy a break after lunch.


Brian brought up wood scraps to create our own game of Giant Jenga. Definitely a huge challenge, especially because the game could squish young children who get in the way. Fede, Uriel and I went round and round this giant pile, considering every piece, becoming more determined with each turn that we would not be the one to topple the tower!


Uriel is glad to be able to breathe again as he was holding his breath until he could gently pry the piece out from the pile.


Fede is exuberant that the tower is still standing!

I got fairly into the game myself and felt triumphant pulling out the piece as Fede, Uriel and other onlookers deemed it "impossible."


Fede slowly pulls the piece that proved to be the toppling of the tower.
Who wants to try it? :)
