Our Country Ward Party

Our ward has some great activities. Our summer activity was a bit small as ward parties go but it was such a blast! They had eat the apple of the string with your husband as well as the following.

All of the children lined up and poured water on the 1st couseluer in the bishopric. Then Robert and our friend James Tukia decided to volunteer to get water poured on them...ICE COLD water. As you see the upper picture is Alestair pouring water on Robert and the lower is James getting water poured on him by his 2nd daughter (he also got it from his oldest daughter and his only son). Alestair did not like this game. He does not like anyone being picked on and as soon as the 1st counsler was drenched Alestair started crying and was extremely upset. This happened every time someone got a bucket of water on their head.

James also volunteered to do a pie eatting contest with cherry pie after eatting a very large dinner. As you can see in the last picture it was a bit difficult but he did win!

There was also potatoe sack races. The first four pictures are of the single race and the last five are the 3 leged race...there were a few falls in this one. Robert is very competive.

Alestair had a blast! He got his face painted for the first time and got to make new friends with Mo and Zeak. He also got to be with his friend Stephanie...the first person I met in the new ward who looked enough like Aunt Stacy that Alestair tried to share his binky with her.
