Picnic

We had a fabulous time at the picnic that ICHE sponsored for the many folks who volunteer to work year round with the ministry.

For several years we have met at the Johnson's beautiful farm. It felt more like a garden. Everywhere you looked were beautiful and exotic flowers and weed free beds. What an inspiration.
Fellowshipping together without a job to accomplish was a treat for this hard working crowd.
There were games and things for everyone to do.
These teams are playing a competitive game involving marshmallows!





Happy Birthday Katrina!
Mr. Stanford nicknamed Mallory "Dead Eye".

Melody and Jason
They called this sharing!

Nate
Behind the back


The younger kids got in on the fun!

Duck!


The straw in the mouth trick. Yikes!
Nate still has all his teeth. =)

Oh boy, FIRE!!
Time to put the torches out.

It's not working . . . . . . . . they are all still lit!

Melody helped with a bucket of water.
Oops, she missed the torches!
Their family has way too much fun.

After a week of temperatures in the 90's the Lord gave us a cooler day. Perfect!

Volleyball of course.


Their shooting range was a blast. (joke . . . . . . "silly grin")
It was fun to see people's hidden talents. Amber was a fabulous shot.
Matthew's favorite target was the row of gophers.

It was a blessing to have Paul there to supervise and also teach a little gun safety to the novices.

Good Food
Thank you to the cooks!

A little mother/son competition??


Sandi, always prepared.
Chocolate
Thanks Marisa for capturing this moment.

Hey, how fun to see myself on here! I'm starting to feel like part of the "in crowd" with this wonderful group!

It's so strange to see ICHE pictures, I hardly know anyone!
