1. Aldo coming on the coach instead of the van.
2. Numerous hand checks conducted on the coach.
3. Passing around the chocolate fish on the coach to see if it could feed us all...the biblical story which was later addressed by P. Paul.
4. Hearing about Kenny and his crazy exploding cat story...looking at Aldo when P.Paul asked us to imagine and hope for things we could never imagine (we both thought of the cat story).
5. Making up games on the coach - like the "tickle surprise" and "Whose hand?"
6. Screaming at Aldo and P.Erik for their ridiculous music choices and constantly referring to P.Paul's sermon about serving others.
7. Snow.
8. The brown pizza...that we believe the brown team should have to eat again after its loss.

19. Four girls, in my room, who shall remain nameless, talking about ridiculous things at 3:30am, waking me up and keeping me up.

29. Long talks about Betty Punctuation and everything that goes with that.
30. Joyce, Carissa, and Heidi interpreting the leaders.

lectio...except for the ridiculously long explanation.
Yeah, I think Amy is going to have to come up sith a better excuse for getting up in the middle of the night than "falling" out of bed.
Everything was GREAT! Lots of fun!
okay... how many times to I have to fix my typos?
Sounds like you all had a great time!
Heidi and Heather on the Belly Bumper, and Val's spelling were my top two favorite moments. I can't remember laughing so hard is a long time.
I think one of my favs was my team's flawed plan to win the shoe game...hmmm. Should I rile Samantha again? *POKE* *POKE*
Mike
You need not rile me, trust me, I am above your silly comments now...
after all, I'll be eating pizza on Sunday night while you're....oh that's right, WATCHING me eat pizza. delicious.
Good times! ^___^
