Duct tape and others

As some of you know, our Friday Pizza Night was cancelled last night, due to the absence of the cooks. :) Amber, Angela, Abbie and I were all gone at a summer party at some friends' house. Despite the heat, we had a great time of fellowship, eating and playing games, and making new friends. :)
The first game we played included 2 victims, duct tape, a building and 2 teams.


Yep, we had to tape our victims to the shed walls, and their feet couldn't touch the ground when we were finished! Also, they needed to at least try to stay up for a minute.

Donnie was the last to fall after almost a minute

The gauntlet... and water balloons. :)
While the majority of us lined the driveway several volunteers prepared to run down the middle amid a barrage of water balloons. :D

After supper we were divided into 4 teams, and were given several questions which each team had to work together to answer. When our time was up our answers were taken to the judges to read and discuss.

Waiting for the judges

There was even an ice cream feed, which was hilarious to watch!

After the ice cream a group of us played Spoons while the rest of us (I was included in the latter group) talked. Pretty soon we migrated outside where it was cooler.
All too soon everyone was leaving, until only Amber, Angela, Abbie, 3 other girls, 1 boy, our hosts, and myself were left, not to leave till the next morning. But, despite the late hour, we weren't ready to go to bed. So we played a few games until around 1:00 a.m. and then everyone started going off to bed.
A, A&A, and I brought our things inside. As we were coming back from the car Abbie decided that she wanted to see if she could sleep on the trampoline. The idea was mentioned inside and instead of only Abbie sleeping outside, she was joined by 4 more: Ruth, Joanna, Christina and I.
I seriously think I had never seen so many stars before! It is amazing how many stars you can see when you aren't in the city. It makes God's promise to make Abraham's descendants as many as the stars of the sky: innumerable!
