The G8 Yard Sale

We had our second youth summer missions fund raising event this Saturday. We kicked it off on Mother’s Day with a terrific bake sale. Thank you all who donated and purchased the goods. We made some good money to benefit our youth going on these trips this summer.

The yard sale went great. We collected A LOT of items and sold A LOT of stuff. We had honey buns, cinnamon rolls, hot dogs, POP, water and even homemade chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter icing (thanks Blaze!). We met a lot of cool people today, and many fellow Christians. Some even donated specifically for the cause and didn’t even buy anything. So, needless to say, I think in the end, we were all blessed. Those who helped and participated and those who benefited from some good cheap stuff.

Then, the youth may have gotten a little crazy and started throwing each other in the pool. I fended them off as best as I could; at one point four at a time trying. But, I eventually went in. Did I mention we were all in our regular clothes? Wet cargo shorts are HEAVY!!

Thanks again to everyone who helped, donated or bought. It truly was a big blessed exhausting event. Can’t wait for the next time!?!

Dodger Game

For the last youth event, the guys went out to Glendale for a Dodger game. Although Burgess is a HUGE Dodger fan, they got creamed by the White Sox. We still had fun though. We tailgated in the parking lot. We brought camping chairs, our trusty Coleman camping stove, an actual kitchen stove griddle and about four times as much food as what we needed. Blaze tried his hardest to finish off the burgers though.

We entered the game full of food and excited to see some spring league action. We left the game exhausted and sunburnt, although I think Blaze set a record for autographs in one day. His ball was full of them! We had a blast. Can’t wait until the next youth event.

…and, sorry for not getting any pictures of the girls up. You can yell at Rebekah ;-)
