This year, Mike was put in charge of the menu, as well as shopping, for a special dinner on Saturday night. So, we had so much fun putting all of our ideas together, shopping at Sams with loads of groceries - all on someone else's tab, I might add...that was the best part - and then prepping and cooking it all.
Here's Bryan and Angie Samms playing in the foosball tourney
Malachi got in on the pool tournament.
Eric Gustafson and Cody manning the grills...we had Pepper Crusted Sirloin, Italian Chicken, and Balsamic-Honey Glazed Salmon, as well as grilled marinated veggies wrapped in foil...they were very busy!!
Getting in a game of frisbee golf in the afternoon...here's Eric, Aaron Harshaw and Dave Keck (Mike's taking the pic)
Here was our final spread after all the work was done.
On Friday night, after all our kids went to bed, the Samms, Gustafsons, Herbsters, Kecks, Saseks and Tina Parry got busy prepping all the food for the following day. Even though it was alot of work and we were up late, it was a great excuse to HAVE to be together doing something so fun and just being together, in the same room, for probably the first time all summer!
Getting the desserts plated up...
Elizabeth, Joy Keck, and Tina getting all the veggies ready. I sliced more peppers that night than I ever have in my life!
On Saturday morning, all the men put on their aprons and made breakfast for everyone in the chapel. They served up pancakes, eggs, bacon, juices, and coffees.

We even had cartoons on the big screen in the chapel for everyone to watch while they ate breakfast.
We had a great weekend just being able to be with our staff, taking it easy, and making many memories with them!
