gym night

i have the awesome privilege of teaching junior yps @ church, together with 3 other youth leaders.
this group of kids are 13-15 yrs old... great age!!
these guys are sooo much fun ~ an awesome group of kids.
16 of these youths make up our group and they all get along fantastic...what a blessing!!
so, every other week we have a fun night...it could be game night, gym night, craft night, making a meal for a local crisis pregnancy centre, outdoor sports etc...you get the picture.
this week was our gym night.
we rent a local elementary school gym, 5 min from the church, and after catechism class on wed night we head over there for some chaotic fun!!
it was a little difficult getting the pics i wanted, so these will have to suffice...


first we played 'dodge ball'....what a hoot!!!
i haven't played this game since high school...a mere 'few' years ago ;)





so then we break for snaxs, and some one forgot the cups, thus this display of grossness(i don't even know if that's a word~in my book it is!)
the guys had a different bottle of pop, so the girls didn't care if their germs blended~ugh!!!
i can tell you one thing, my lips were NO WHERE near that bottle!!!(just taking the picture i was gagging :( )



then, for the second half of the night we all kinda just did our own thing....some of the guys played a game of basket ball, while this group of girls played '21'







great form eryn... ;)


....while some of the other kids just shot hoops together~no real game go'n on



i feel blessed to be able to be a part of these kids' lives....God is good!
