This past weekend was a whilwind of fabulous activities! I chaperoned and hosted our Stake Youth Conference which started Thursday at 4:00.
We got into family groups: 8 boys/girls 2 male/female chaperones. We played a huge game of Dodge Ball, then went to an Ice Skating rink, then went to a Bowling Alley for Cosmic Bowl until midnight. Then back with our "family" for a devotional and home at 1:30 a.m. for some sleep.
The morning started with fabulous fun, and spiritual workshops, then off to the beach for a picnic lunch and a boat-making contest. The trick was to make a boat that actually floats out of 4 sheets of cardboard and 4 rolls of duct tape. One member of the family had to use an oar and row it to a buoy and back. That was interesting!
After fun in the sun it was back to my house to shower and change for a semi-formal dinner dance. Semi-formal meant formal on top and casual on the bottom: jacket and tie with shorts and flip-flops. What great fun. The kids had a blast, and I only had to go on "make-out" patrol once. We have a really great group of kids. There were literally no incidents! After the dance it was to another house for some more partying until the wee hours of the morning.
Saturday morning was a service project, followed by lunch, a devotional, and a 3 1/2 hour testimony meeting. I didn't attend the Saturday activity because I had another engagement. See the next post!
Youth conference is great fun and it has taken me a few days to recuperate!
