So Tired!


Sorry that I haven't posted much lately, but I have been sooo tired, that typing seems an effort!

However, here i am now....

As most of you know...Kendal and I were going to go with about 50 kids last weekend to YC Sask! Well we did go, and it was an absolute blast!

The bus ride there and back weren't too comfortable for me, as i found out jarring to the extreme on my tailbone,

However, we had fun with the rest....

I even managed to get one of the teen boys to snort his bottle of coke, by tipping it on him when he was trying to get a drink....good times, good times....

If you look carefully you can see all four of us...Kendal and I (off to the left) and Bree and Brandy...(Low center)

Once we got there, we went directly to the Comfort Hotel (which isn't by the way...beds like rocks...) and sorted the kids into rooms with the various leaders. I had four of the younger girls...

After that we headed to fast food restauraunts to eat...i think Kendal and I ate at A&W...but it doesn't really stick in my memory....(LOL!)

Tree 63 led worship...and what an awesome band first of all...All weekend they had the youth really entertained...and they were good....they must have some roots in U2 and Police because you could hear the influence, and i think Sat. night they actually played some of both....although I am pretty sure that the kids would have had no idea who either of those bands are.

The speaker was a youth worker by the name of Greg Johnson he was the speaker for most of the weekend...and he was pretty funny!

I am not really into loud, but they did have a concert afterwards with Thousand Foot Crutch A lot of the kids wouldn't go in cause it was too loud, but some did and really enjoyed it.

Bree and her friend Amber were just excited cause they got to work in the Tree 63 booth and got free teashirts for Friday night....

Sat. was more of the same, with Tree 63 and Greg Johnson speaking, but in the afternoon, they had some games for the kids

Volleyball, and some inflatable games...They also had sessions with different speakers including some for the leaders. Kendal and I went to one of them and chilled out for the other.

About 4.30 we headed with the kids to one of the local malls, and the kids all went shopping and hung out, and the leaders all went to Smittys for supper.

The evening service started again at 7pm and ended with a concert this time by Tree 63 and then Stereotrap Personally not really one of my favorite bands, so Kendal and I sat in for the Tree 63 Concert but then took about half of the kids back to the hotel for the Stereotrap concert.

We stopped at 7-11 on the way back and all the kids went in to grab something...Well after everyone had come back, one of the boys asked if he could go use the bathroom...of course we said that everyone was on the bus and could he wait till we got to the motel room....Surprise..he didn't bother telling us he was sick to his stomach... so you can guess at what happened next.....

Sunday morning was illusionist Lou Levanthal...He was pretty good, and definatly had the kids going...

We got home from Saskatoon at about 5pm....By 7 the girls and I were asleep...

I am still recovering!!!! I think I only slept about 6 hours the entire weekend...(apparently Sat. night Bree only slept two as her and a friend were hiding under the steps of the motel in the hall giggling all night....)

All I have eaten since is toast and soup.... Here is to hoping that I never see another fast food restauraunt ever again!
