the weekend

Saturday morning we got up early & got our fishing gear together, & headed over to Carmine's (a friend of Bill Day) 4 acre pond. We got there & Bill had made blueberry buckwheat pancakes. They were really good! Then we starting fishing for a couple of hour before lunch. I caught 4 bluegill right next to the dock. The biggest one was 10". But the biggest fish caught all weekend was 20". We had hotdog on the fire with chips for lunch. Someone brought a huge hoagie & they couldn't finish it, so we split it. Then we fished till 3 when Mom came to pick us up.

Then ran home & showered & got ready to go to Brittini Scott's birthday party. We arrived there just as her parents were heading to join the rest at Trinity High School. So we hopped in to her dad's car & headed over. First thing we played was ultimate frisbee. Then we played football, my team won both games! Later we headed back to her house. Moose & I watched them play Dance, Dance Revolution. Then the pizza arrived. Afterwards we played basketball. After dark, we ate cake & watched Brittini open her gifts. We watch the Penguin game while she did that. Part way through the game i went out to the bonfire they had out back until my Mom came.

During Sunday morning service Kamerone, Dan, & Brittini did the sermons, in that order. Kamerone spoke about his healing, Dan spoke on Phil 3:14, & Brittini spoke on Eccl 3:1-8 relating it to her birthday. They did good. Afterwards the drama team practiced their dramas. Then we headed to the church next door for the 2 youth groups to get together & get to know each other. When we got there we ate hamburgers & hotdogs. Then they played volleyball while I played basketball.

Then they came in & we played dodgeball. When they went out to play ultimate frisbee, I returned to playing basketball. Later we ate pizzas. We chilled until the drama teams were ready. The team for "Out of the Gray" went first, then the other team did "Everything". After they were done Andrea, who coached the teams, spoke about the salvation message in the dramas & asked if anyone wanted to be saved. Then she prayed with us. By this point my mom had come to get us. I had a blast!
