Last Thursday we loaded up the two vehicles and headed off to Shadow Lake with 8 teenagers for 2 1/2 days. You may be wondering, “Why would you do such a thing like that?” Well, we had a wonderful time and it was a huge blessing!
Brandon organized all the activities, devotions, and schedule while he left me in charge of the food. There were lots of activities to keep the teens busy and us also. First thing on the agenda Thursday morning was devotions and quiet time!
Some of the activities for the first day included soccer, swimming, volleyball in the pool, fishing, kickball, crab soccer.
Events for day two were softball, shuffleboard, basketball, putt-putt, kick the can, hide-n-go seek, and horseshoes!
There were a few team building activities involved. First was a blind taste testing! Most of the foods were spicy or sour!
Then, we were paired up into groups of two. One partner was blindfolded and not able to speak while the other had to tell you how to build a birdhouse without assisting in the construction. Let’s just say that was really interesting!
During some of the free time the boys went fishing. Friday night was the night assigned for the teens to cook. (Don’t worry, I bought all the food so at least I would know what they had to choose from) Since the boys caught some fish they wanted to cook that. Hmmm…Right?!?!?! And yes, those fish in the picture are as small as you think they are! I was brave enough to try one small piece. It was okay. Funny thing, none of the teens who caught the fish at the fish.
We both had a wonderful time with all the teens and are still trying to recoup. We are very proud of our teens!
Looks like a fun time. Kim I am proud of you for trying the fish.
