Setting World Records

Making World Records

When my husband was a child, he loved to sit and read the Guinness Book of World Records. It is no wonder then, that he is now a walking encyclopedia!

You can imagine his delight when our sons started to show an interest.
Out came all his old books, and they started buying the new editions.

For his birthday, the boys and I scrounged used book stores to get copies of old volumes that he didn’t have yet.

Story times often involve reading the Guinness Book of World Records.
They quiz one another at supper time.

So, when Daniel (8) said he wanted to break a world record, it came as no surprise.

Besides, Thomas and I were have certificates from 2012 when we joined with K-Rock 89.3 to be the “Most People Playing Musical Instruments at Once in a Parking Lot” on RecordSetter’s World Record Day on April 28, 2012. It was very cold, very windy, but we were brave and made a lot of noise anyway!

And, we did it!

Here’s the video proof!

Daniel came up with his own record that he wanted to set.

The fastest 120 foot run juggling 2 croquet balls.

And he did it! He set the record.
He was a very happy and proud boy!
