Memorial Day BBQ at Hard Labor Creek

Posted in Church Stuff, Friends | May 27th, 2009

We had another fun day thanks to the threat of rain. :-)

I guess our ward goes to Hard Labor Creek every year for a Memorial Day BBQ. Some years it can be pretty crowded…but because there was a good chance of rain…there was hardly anyone there this year. It was nice all day while we were there and then poured on us while we drove home in the late afternoon.
The ward put on a great lunch (at a screened pavillion they had rented) and then we all headed down to the lake where the kids played for hours. Some people fished, some rode paddle boats and some played beach volleyball. It was all really nice.

Above: They have a really nice beach there! I was surprised. The next three pictures can be put together to give you a panoramic view. This is the Left.

Above: This is the center.

Above: And this is the Right…. behind where I was sitting was a building where there was an outdoor shower, bathrooms, a snack shack…and they even had a scavenger hunt and a magic show (because of the holiday weekend, I guess).

Above: Donovan, PJ & Megan (and Ashley is out there somewhere).

Above: This is why I didn’t get in the lake. It looked fun…but, uh…yeah…lake swimming is a little dirty.

Above: Elorah…she is such a cutie!!!

Above: Michelle, Hitomi, Yukiko, Shayne & Ula. Ula is our Activity Chairperson and put on a great party.

I had a great video of the volleyball game…but every time I try to upload a video to Blogspot these days my whole browser (and sometimes computer) freezes!!! Bummer!!!
