Summer Outings

Since Activity Club groups are done for the summer and we soon won't have a meeting hall anymore, we will be going on outings and doing various other fun things which I shall not name at this precise time so as to keep them a surprise. : ) We went on our first outing after the feast with the kids to the park and also took the under AC age kids (April 11, . The older ones played kick ball and the younger ones played in the big wooden castle. I think everybody had a really good time in there. The sky even decided to fall and drop a cell phone on Tina's very unsuspecting head! Afterwards we all went to McDonald's for ice cream cones and sundae's. For some reason or other they dumped all the ice cream cones upside down in cups. Some of the kids were disappointed that they had not ordered such a cool upside down cone and were stuck with their sundae's. Hehe, go figure. I think everybody had a great time. I know I did! Looking fwd to the bonfire on Friday. : )

This is supposed to be a one person machine. These crazy girls went double, and doubly nuts!

He can fly!

Mackenzie was super fast at the monkey bars.

Activity Club Feast

Ok, this feast was a while, back but I have been crazy busy with all kinds a stuff an not updated for a while so will try to fill in a bit. On March 28, we had an Activity Club Feast to end our groups for the summer. The three groups were science, guitar and Drama. Over the winter months, these groups had been practicing songs on the guitar, an original play by Daniel, Kris, & Verba, and making all sorts of science experiments. At the feast the guitar group played several songs and they were really good! None of the guitarists had previous experience on the guitar but with Ben, Isaac, & Kris's help they did a fantastic job I thought. I don't think we'll run out of guitars in the meetings for a while. The science group set up a bunch of displays where they showed off various experiments ranging from catapults that slung marshmallows to volcanoes with flowing lava. That group was headed up by Jenn, James, & Buddy. Drama group headed up by Daniel, Verba, and myself, performed a play about a very bratty, self centered princess (Keri, who is not like this in real life... We promise) and a Queen (Angie) who would do anything to make her daughter happy... Including do away with all the cooks in the kingdom if they couldn't come up with a food that was hot as summer and cold as winter in 24 hrs! Hot dogs and ketchup nor "B"Rat poisoning were very good suggestions. : ) They performed brilliantly! Awards and a few prizes were handed out and the evening was finished off with sideshow and a surprise dessert! Wish I could stick up lots of pics of that evening. Especially the play. Maybe I will later. It was a fantastic evening!

Our Genius Cooks!

"The Four Idiots" (Buddy, Kyle, & Matthew...note there are four of them. Yes, they can count) were joined by a pet penguin and an apparently deaf and dumb friend who is holding out on them.
