Hypnosis & other Relay for Life FUN!

26 June 2009
Kennedy had so much fun playing with & following around this cute little 11 month old baby, Kiora! (I love that name!) She is the daughter of Lareen Bliss, who, after Kodi, sang at the Relay for Life (I'm going to see if she minds me posting some of the songs I recorded of her singing). She has an amazing voice & some fun songs that she wrote.


When there wasn't some sort of entertainment on stage going on, there was upbeat music playing out of speakers that were set up all around the track, for people to listen to as they walked.

Kennedy dancing to 'Thriller' (Michael Jackson)

Here are portions of the hilarious Hypnosis show that was part of the entertainment for the 'Relay for Life' Cancer Walk, in Delta...
[Excuse all the obnoxious laughter & people running in front of the camera]
[you might need to turn the volume up pretty high on some of these videos. The sound quality is pretty poor]

The middle of Kodi & a bunch of other people going under hypnosis

Trying to 'cool off'

Every time the hypnotist said 'midnight madness' everyone was supposed to be smelling the most amazing, attractive, smell they had ever smelled. Every time he made this 'Pfft' (farting noise) sound, everyone was supposed to be smelling a very potent 'fart' type smell.

These were the 'Body Builders' struttin' their stuff (I couldn't help laughing every time Kodi flexed his butt; especially since it wasn't as visible as I'm sure he would have liked, with his baggy sweat pants on).. All the body builders 'won' a trip to Hawaii for showing off their mad skillz... You're in for a very special 'treat', watching the amazing Hula dancers ;)

Fishing...

This is a short & somewhat jumbled video, but quite funny.. Kodi was scared of this 'snake' that the hypnotist was trying to get someone to hold & comfort (apparently this was a lonely snake needing some love?) Sorry, all you can see is Kodi nervously shaking his leg & rubbing his fingers together (& the nervous look on his face is priceless)

Here is Kodi, again, frightened of this 'snake' (a fake stuffed toy, that appeared real to those hypnotized) while a lady (who was also hypnotized) strutted her stuff, modeling the snake

The hypnotist had a 'voodoo doll'.. Anything he did to the doll, everyone hypnotized would feel or mimic the action.

In this video, the hypnotist explained that their shoe was a phone & they would be getting a phone call from their favorite celebrity, but that for some reason, the phone wasn't working properly, & no matter how hard they tried, they wouldn't be able to answer it (very frustrating I'm sure ;).. Kodi was very upset to be missing a call from Tiger Woods, who was going to help him with his golf swing I guess, lol. As you can hear, I thought this part of the hypnosis was quite hilarious, especially when somone said Napolean Dynamite was trying to call them. & I thought it to be rather awesome that someone else was expecting a call from Jason Statham (he's dreamy)

This was the end of the hypnosis, while he was bringing them out of it [notice about a 3rd of the way through this video, the kid next to Kodi (in the red shirt) got back into his chair.. he fell flat on his face in the grass a little bit before this, (while the hypnotist was having them relax,) which was quite hilarious (& just a little sad ;)]
