summertime fun begins...

so tonight bethel had a little gettogether for the youth and youth leaders and whoever else would show up. there was a small group that came, but we had a ton of fun. we ate potluck-style. and while the guys were getting the grill ready for the hot dogs (thanks pastor mark in particular) some decided to play around with a giant flying disc. pink of course. and so began the evening in the park along the lake.

i had a great time getting to sit around and talk to those who came. i'm not the overly athletic, as anyone who knows me can attest. but i do love to socialize.

so we snacked a bit. and i ate more sweets than i should have. but i do love monster cookies, and peanut butter cookies, and strawberry rhubarb cake.

after eating a meal together, we spent some time just chatting. then we pulled out the guitars.

and then we transitioned over to bocce ball. which is one of my favorite lawn games EVER! and to think i almost won with my awesome teammate erin...

and we ended exactly at 21:00 (the time my phone said) or 9:00 for all those who don't know the 24 hour time. 

and this is the view we had as we left:
