Lake Powell

The boys went on a fun super activity with the young men in our ward. They all went to Lake Powell for three days. None of our kids have ever tried water sking- Well now they HAVE.

Matthew made it up for a few minutes, but said it was something he doesn't want to try again anytime soon. He had fun with alot of the other activities. They played water football (that is football in the water about 2 feet deep) trying to run was a challange- but the tackles were GREAT!

Craig got right up, and actually skied for a while. He thought it was a blast, and wants to go again. They all came home sunburned and tired- but it was FUN!!

FUN!!

the young men and young women in our ward decided to do something fun for their activity for the end of the summer. All 6 groups had to build a boat, it could be made out of anything you wanted as long as it only cost $35.00. All the boats were made (Kary's group- the teachers- built a 12 foot long, 4 foot high, pirate ship) the whole group headed out to Quail Resevoir to have a race and see who would float. Tyler's group tied a matress to some big foam blocks, and Matthew's group took a large sheet of plywood, cut two holes in the middle, put buckets in to sit in, then put big round pipes under the edges. It was an interesting sight when all the boats got to the water. Matthew helped build his boat, but he had football practice while the activity was going on so- Craig took his place on the boat. To make a long story short, the priests (Matthew's boat) won the race, Deacon's got second, then the girls after them. The pirate ship- it sank. But not before the boys had time to bomb the other ships with water balloons. All of the kids had fun.
