Malltease Manhunt

We had our first annual Malltease Manhunt for our church's youth group (idea borrowed from Calvary Baptist). Fifteen of us dressed up in various outfits and went to the Twelve Oaks mall in Novi. The goal was to not be recognizable to the kids in youth group. They were given a mug-shot book for each of us that showed our pictures and a hilarious background story that Shinn made up for each of us. On a side note, Shinn shaved his head for the event (check him out in the lower left hand corner).

Matt went as a white-rapper, Zach as Matt's body-guard and I went as Dan. Seriously, four people independently told me that I looked like my brother Dan (Nate, Anne, Tiffany and Jess)

The Rays boys and Jim decided to stay classy, with each of the Rays boys dressing like their Dad in different phases of his life, while Jim dressed like his Dad.


We wandered around the mall as did the kids, and they had to try and spot us. When they did, they had to join hands and sing "Twinkle, Twinkle little star, we think we know who you are." The kids then had to state who the thought the person was. One group was wrong three times. Awkward.

We had a great turn out for a first time event. Shinn did a fantastic job pulling this off and getting all of the leaders and parents coordinated and pulled together, which was a huge task.
