All I can say is that when you take a couple of van loads of young people on a youth group trip, be prepared for...
Alarms to be set off and kids getting stuck in awkward places
The relief that no one knows who you are when you are in a van full of hooligans waving and yelling at every car that goes past (they are being really good in this photo thankfully)
Heaps of laughs, fun times and awesome adventures
I heart youth (most of the time)

ReplyDeleteNice photos Kristy! I remember those youth days... eek! Youth camps were the best fun. And the most tired-ing.

I wager a bet that at least one Pyle was the instigator of the adventures in the first photo.

Memories, memories!! You guys are the best! Anyone who invests in the lives of teens is AWESOME. Seriously. You're the best. They'll never forget you!
ReplyDeleteMy hubs and I were youth pastors for a few years and we loved every second of it. We're still really involved with our youth group (mainly b/c we've never grown up)
