Well, all of the votes are in for the Pirate Captain Grape Grog's Booty Guess Challenge. Remember, this year we did NOT specify a "going over" rule, so it's just who is closest--higher or lower. Maybe next year...

Here's where our lucky contestants weighed in:

Mom: $24.42

Dad: $27.10

Em: $38.21

Kyle: $43.12

Trina: $47.80

And more treasure...

And the grand total...

$35.69!

We have a winner!!!

Emily Pond Ricks!!!

So Emily will receive some type of shared experience with the celebration yet to come. How exciting for her. (You know, I think I stole more quarters out of this than I had previously thought. I was hoping for higher, but this is a tough town for laundry and parking meters! Oh well!) Thanks to everyone who participated in the PCGGBGC 2009, we look forward to accumulating more change and doing fun things with it again in the future.
