2022 Blue Jeans Week 22

So this past week was kind of crazy.  We enjoyed the 3 day weekend and then had two days of work and then Ben, Mr J and I left for a 3 day youth church retreat in Nauvoo, Illinois.  It was an adventure!  Take a look...

Sunday game this week was Roll It.  It is a fun dice game that is super easy and fast to play.

Happy Memorial Day!  So grateful for the men and women who have given their all for us so we can have the freedoms we do!  We honor them and their families for their sacrifice for us.  Mr J had to work all day as it was opening day at the pool, so Ben and I enjoyed roasting hot dogs and making s'mores and riding bikes.  It was a beautiful day!

So we are on a bus with 60 teenagers aged 14-18 for a 6 hour drive to a church youth retreat.  We are excited :)  There were 5 buses full of 250 kids and lots of adults.  It is going to be fun!

First night of the retreat we went to an outdoor musical show that was so good!

We were assigned a group of 17 kids and were in charge of them and getting them around.  The highlight was taking them to the temple to serve.  Such a beautiful place!

Glad I got to do this with this cute guy!

Visiting historic sites as part of the retreat.  In Carthage, Illinois

Had lots of fun with these kids over the last 3 days. Not a lot of sleep, but lots of fun!  A great group of kids!

And these were the other adults that had their own groups of 17 that were on the bus with us and we did things together over the 3 days.  There were 240 kids total and lots of adults, and it was a great experience.  We made new friends and had fun, but man were we tired at the end of it!  A 6 hour bus ride home, plus a 2 hour car ride, and we were very glad to get in our own beds!!!

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you are safe and happy and well!  Have a great week!
