Tubing at Five Pines

This afternoon we went tubing at five pines. Right in the middle of it all I all of a sudden thought, "I have something to post now!" So here are the pictures. Enjoy!Heather getting ready to go down

This was a game you could play. You had to try and throw the ball in the rings.

Finally a Post!

Okay, okay so here is the post you've been waiting for. It seems like so long ago, so far away but it was really only last month that we were in PERU! Wow!

Looking out window on one of the flights we were on. It was a beautiful day!

Well I've seen these pictures a "hundred" times and I could look at them a hundred more times and I don't think I could get tired of them! Some of these pictures were taken by Bethany, I believe.
I'll see if there's anything else to post soon. Drama camp is in a few weeks. So once the week is over I'm sure I'll have a nice sized post ready to go. :)

Fall Party!!!

Last night was our fall party! We all had great time. We always dress up and this year Mrs. Dobson thought of doing fall colors (red, brown, orange and yellow). When everyone arrived there was more brown then red, orange and yellow put together. :) First we ate supper then played games.

The table decorations were very pretty

Christa and Heather

Bethany, Timothy and Josiah

Painting pumpkins after supper

Playing Win, Lose or Draw (all play Pictionary). Here Mrs. Hageman
was drawing "dunking for apples"

Dad, drawing an acorn:)

Tug-of-war, the men first, then the ladies and all the way down to 7-12-year-olds.

Teen boys

Teen girls, this one went on for a while before the whistle was blown.
No one was able to grab the pumpkin.

The little ones got to play a game too. They had to roll the pumpkin
across the gym and run back:)

Silas rolling his pumpkin!

Pastor Dobson explaining the game (sorry, this ones out of order).

When Pastor Dobson asked for volunteers Emily and John were more then willing. But that could have changed when Pastor Dobson said that we would be dressing them up as a scarecrow. This is Emily before she was dressed up.

Sarah and I fixing her shirt

Megan doing the doing the coloring with colorful markers.

And the finished product! :)
