Us girls and Dad :)



This past weekend our chruch celebrated it's 30th anniversary. Saturday night we had a formal banquet at the Lancaster Host Resort. We celebrated by playing games, recalling memories from the past, and eating a wonderful meal together. Below are a few pictures of us girls before we left.

A weekend away :)

A weekend at the mountains is always a time I look forward to. I can always imagine the smell of the campfire blazing, and the cool wind at my back as I rost my marshmellows, knowing that I've got the rest of the weekend to do nothing...I don't know if there's a better feeling then that!
We had a great time together. Played some card games which inluded Dutch Blitz, and Hoss. We also spent time hitting the volleyball around out side. The one thing that took away from my mountain experience this year was the HOT weather!! It was in the 80"s durring the day. I could have kicked myself for not packing any shorts. I was so hot...we ended up turning on the AC in the cabin! Just not my idea of mountain weather. As you can see below, we still did cook hot dogs and marshmellows, it's just that it was in the comfort of our ACed cabin!!


Below are some pictures from the weekend:

The Buck

Saturday night a few of my friends decided they wanted to go to the Buck for the last show this season. The Buck is this track down on the southern end of the county, not far from the Maryland line, where all the rednecks hang out and race their trucks. I have never been there before, so this was a new experience for me.


The night started out with some little beater cars competing in an obstacle course. They started out driving up a mud ramp and flying off it, they then had to drive around two large tires in a figure eight pattern, before driving off another ramp. Some of theses cars did pretty well, others had engine problems, and had to be towed off the course. One driver got a little carried away and rolled his vehicle!


Later in the night they brought out the trucks and had a competition to see who could drive the farthest through a large mud pit. It became more of a competition between the makes of the trucks (ford, chevy, dodge) than the actual people themselves :) I had to laugh.


It was fun, not something I'd do right away again though. They do have monster trucks come out and jump cars, and that I think would be fun to see sometime. Maybe next year.


Here are a few pictures from the night.
