We win!

This week the boys and I went to the Blue and Gold banquet (Seth had late meetings and couldn't make it). Bless the ladies in charge that gave us a table activity to do while we were waiting for our turn to eat. Each table was given
2 cups of cheerios
10 toothpicks
5 bendy straws
1 large marshmallow
3 small plates
1 apple
2 pair scissors

and the directions to use any or all of the above mentioned items to suspend the apple at least 2 inches off the table.

Here's our result:



It was 6 1/2" from the table to the bottom of our apple. We had the highest apple! It was fun to see all of the surprised faces of those around us. Someone even asked who the mathematician was at our table... yep, go Moms!

Way to go! What did other tables do to suspend their apples?
