These pictures were taken during a youth trip my brother organized last summer. I've gotta say, it was a blast

A friendly game of clue

When we actually managed to get most of the girls together for a group picture, it looked something like this. Unfortunately, we never did get the guys together like this.

A friendly game of Vollyball. Other then the fact that the sand stained most of our clothes beyond repair, the vollyball court was great.

Things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts.

Now, here are some more recent pictures of the youth. These were taken on our trip to the Alive! festival in Ohio. I�ve got to say, these guys and girls have changed a lot over the last year. I have had the honor of having a part in their growth and maturing process. It has been amazing.

Pretty much says it all. That was about where we were.

Alright, here's the rundown. 1) This was one of three vans we drove up to Ohio. 2) Tucked away, nestled amoung the trees, is our four man tent which housed Earle and Cathy, two of our chaperons. 3) Our pavillion. This is where we cooked and ate most of our meals. 4) Behind the pavillion, is guy tent 1 of 2. 5) Girls tent 1 of 1... Three girls, eight man tent... Yeah chivalry is not dead 6) Guys tent 2 of 2, complete with East and West wings.

It looks like we were playing Rummy at this point. This was a fun way to spend our time.

We were knocking a Volleyball around here. Again, much fun, but I think we had just hit a car with the ball at the time of this picture... It was probably Colin. :-)

Really... Don't ask

Three guesses who the guy in the middle is. That's right, it's the great Mac Powell, lead singer for Third Day. I wish I had been there for this picture, but I was in another conference.

This pic is for Matt, who found this car out of thousands. He was really proud of this snapshot. If anyone doesn't understand why this is cool look at this

This was the main stage. One of four stages at Alive. The bands like The Benjamin Gate, Reliant K, FFH, Third Day, Pillar, Newsboys and many, many more played on this stage.

To those that are wondering, this is a friend of mine named Lisa. Lisa and I go way back to the good ol' days of Csehy. She also has nothing to do with our youth group, I just included her on my page of friends.
