Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap

My team works very closely with the E-commerce team (obviously - we are the Online Marketing team... Online/Ecommerce - you see the connection.) So, to make sure we have a nice cohesive working relationship between members of the team, we try to schedule a couple cross-department team building activities each year. This picture is from a hike we took in early June this year - we hiked to the top of some mountain behind Draper (don't ask me the name of it.) So, what is this guy doing? We were up high enough that there was still snow around this spring - I told this guy I would buy him a bag of Corn Nuts if we would sit in the spring for 15 seconds wearing all his clothes. (The spring was FREEZING.) He held out... until I offered 2 bags of Corn Nuts. He sure looked ridiculous (and uncomfortable) hiking back down the mountain with the whole back side of his jeans completely soaked. I thought it was hilarious. Have I ever mentioned how easily entertained I am?

So, one other funny picture - this is a picture of a couple of us sitting down for lunch on this hike. Notice who happens to have the pile of food. In my defense, I was pregnant at the time. :) OK, actually, I was one of only two people who thought to bring a back pack. So, I was lucky enough to haul EVERYONE'S sandwiches, chips, and drinks up the mountain. Incidentally, when we got to the top, one of the guys I work with said, "Amy, you really shouldn't be carrying that heavy bag while you're pregnant." Yeah, AFTER we got to the top.
