In short, Breakout! 2010 was a huge success, with a record attendance of 1025 middle-school kids. I attended with Bethel Temple.
While we waited for the main performance, we had some events such as a toilet paper fight, Some kids being picked to play games on stage (me being one of them,) and those kids getting a free ticket to see the new movie "To Save a Life."
We then moved on to a performance from Team Impact, a group of some of the World's Strongest Men. They performed amazing feats, such as blowing up a hot water bottle until it exploded, breaking an aluminum baseball bat, and making cans of 7UP explode(I got sprayed with 7UP!) Lucky for me, I got a front row seat. They wrapped up their performance with an awesome message about God.
After that, we went on over to Dream Center for some inflatable fun. There was a "crash room" for anybody who wanted to sleep at every location.
After I ate some pizza, I bounced a little bit before heading upstairs to play Wii, then went back downstairs for more bouncing. I made it all the way through the inflatable obstacle course, before being told I went the wrong way. Whoops.
We went to the YMCA after that. I chose to go swimming. After I took my swimming test, I jumped off the diving board a few times, then went swimming, and just generally hanging around in the water.
Then it was off to Swonders Ice Arena for Ice Skating. I stumbled and fell a few times, until I finally got the hang of it and did some laps around the ice. After that, I went over to the concession area and attempted to get an Ice cream sandwich. Each time I selected a kind of Ice Cream, the machine responded with "Make Different Selection." I finally gave up, and pressed the button for my money back. I received five dollars, in all coins. My wallet weighed a lot more after that.
Next up was the dodge ball tournament at Metro Sports Center. My team, the Panther Waffles, was out in the first round. I didn't get a chance to see who won overall, I was too busy blowing bubbles at the audience. Fun times. After that, they had a giant dodge ball game between the leaders and kids. I stayed in for awhile, because I hovered in the back. I finally got a ball and ran up to the middle line, threw it, and ran back. Whichever leader saw me throw the ball responded by hammering me in the leg with a ball. I went back to blowing bubbles.
We then went to Crossroads for donuts. They were good, but most of us were reclining against the walls until our parents came. I'm pretty sure most of us went home and slept the rest of the day.
In my opinion, Breakout! 2010 was a huge success. Big Thank yous go out to everybody who helped. Thanks guys!
