Deep Deep Snow!!

Snow...that is what hit Juneau. Just a few days ago we were living in a very normal fall. You know rain...lots of rain and cloudy weather. Then in the last 3 days we have been hit hard. You can see there is way more than a foot on the railing of my deck.

Perspective....me on my deck. Notice the snow covered mountains in the background. Soon I will be traveling to Seattle and then onto Chicago and then...eventually to Ohio....where, at this moment, there is no snow.


This is my roommate, LeAnn, and our neighbor digging out the neighbor's car. It has 3 days of snow on it! Crazy amounts of SNOW!!

High School Youth Group

At youth group this past week...on Halloween...we still had youth group. We all had the opportunity to reach deep in the the pumpkin brains to discover a treat. Above Richard and Daniel anticipate their turn to dig deep.


Youth leaders are no exception. You can see the "joy" on my face!

FTO!

What is FTO you ask? Well the high school students asked the same question. It is the "Frozen Turkey Olympics!" What else. The Auke Bay Youth Group put this activity on for the students in October. First we had to "decorate our turkeys." Each team was a different color. We see the Green Team was very creative. Daniel, Gavin, and Nick show off their sweet decorating skills.

Here we see the infamous Turkey Bowling...what a sport!

Here I am giving instructions on how to play Ultimate Turkey. Every heard of Ultimate Frisbee..well it is basically the same thing-except with a frozen turkey. Watch out for a turkey to the face...that will draw blood!

Ultimate Turkey will also do strange things to the frozen bird. Notice that we wore gloves as we played.

Another favortie activity was the Turkey Triathlelone. First the teens "wheelbarrowed the turkey down the runway and then two more teens skipped with it between their backs and finally they last two teens took it in a shopping cart! Above Jessica is stablizing the cart as Alexis pushes Kaitilyn down the hill with the turkey. It was a great time and a sweet way to share the Gospel message!
