They Are Sunshine To The World

You totes should have been with me on this youth group trip to Huntsville, Alabama.

See these kids? Coolest in America, with brilliant personalities, hilarious conversations, love for God, and Bieber Fever.

On Thursday we participated in a ropes course. These kids were fearless! They climbed the tallest obstacles and JUMPED off of them (harnessed of course). I stood at the top of the same pole for 15 minutes screaming “Why did I do this?!”

Some chaperone.

The course was intense and I tried A LOT of new things, like rock climbing and zip-lining back down to the ground.

Friday we took the group to the Space and Rocket Center. It was really cool.

We rode the Space Shot about nine million times and then I sat down with a few girls on the floor of the Dinosaur Exhibit where they grilled me with questions like, “Who do you like?!”

I probably shouldn’t have told them, but in the spirit of trusting them (we did trust falls) I cracked.

Hopefully that poor guy doesn’t find out.

I stayed with three girls at Joshua’s (full name, does that mean we’re best friends now?) grandparents house and they were bombspice.

Seriously, Mama Martin cooked us bacon every morning. Boss.

Other fun memories:

DJ Autumn
”cool mom”
winning Mafia
Rolo McFlurrie’s with Milks!
Mrs. Corder
Playing sardines in the dark church
”Hotumn”
The Situation Game
Grace’s “situations”

I loved every minute of the trip.

I am al and don’t forget to enter the giveaway! It ends Friday.
