Stand By...

for more infor regarding this weeks Joint Activity with the YM.
The boys are in charge and we were hoping to up to Bogus to their Tubing Hill (which is what we tentatively announced at church today) however, they only offer tubing Thursdays-Sundays.  The YM are working on a back up plan and we'll let everyone know what that is as soon as we find out! :)
Thanks for your patience :)
Everyone have an enjoyable week at school and we'll see all of your smiling faces on Wednesday!

Off to Bounce!

We were finally able to get to BOUNCE! this week for our Combined YW Activity!  We had a GREAT turnout with 16 girls ready to spend their energy with some physical activity!  The best part.... we literally had the ENTIRE facility to ourselves!  the girls really had a wonderful time and we finished the night off with some popcorn for refreshments :) 
Sorry - no pics this time :(  All of the leaders forgot their cameras! 

Switched due to Snow

Since our first big snowfall of the season decided to hit us on Wednesday (hooray for snow!) we decided it best to switch our BOUNCE! week with what was planned for the following week.  The Beehives all met over at the Beath's home (Thank you, Beaths!) where they watched the movie - Tangled.  Although, from my understanding, not much watching was going on but LOTS of chatting and laughing and having fun with one another did! :)  The Mia Maids, met over at Sister Vogt's for a movie night as well.  However, theirs was more of a serious movie - 17 Miracles which depicts the true stories of the Willie Handcart Company and the struggles they faces as they crossed the plains to the Salt Lake Valley.  If any of you are interested in viewing this movie, it is available on YouTube (I've attached it below)
This year for Trek (which is going to be June 7-9th) the youth of our Stake will be pulling handcarts (roughly 7 miles a day!) in honoring the Pioneers that sacrificed so much for us and so this movie was a great way to introduce what they really endured and how the Lord had not forgotten them!

January 18th Activity

We are going to BOUNCE! Everyone will enjoy the large slide, huge obstacle course, large bounce house and sticky wall. They have something for everyone! You won't want to miss it!

We are meeting at the church at 6:15pm

**make sure to wear socks! They are required!**

CHOCOLATE DIPPING!!

Mmmm... Mmmmm... Good!!  I think we'd all agree that our Chocolate Dipping activity with the YM over at Lee's Candy was exceptionally good!! Everyone got to go home with their bag of goodies and what fun to take charge and dip WHATEVER your heart desired!  (I did hear that the Vienna Sausages weren't that tasty... even WITH the chocolate!).. Here are some pictures from the night....
