Fun in T.C.

We just got back from a fun weekend in Traverse City. Our youth group went to the Grand Traverse Resort for a Youth Conference so Dave drove a van of kids up, since he's a youth leader. He stayed with the boys and they formed a dodge ball team. (I have a picture but it's not letting me upload it!) The won the first game in a great game but lost the second game with great dissappointment. They were a little frustrated as the 2nd team seemed a little dishonest when there were hit. They had fun, though!

Meanwhile, I drove our van up with myself and the girls. I was an elevator monitor and the girls came because our babysitter (Aunt Gail) was sick! All four of us slept in a room with one king size bed. Jenny had her sleeping bag so she slept on the floor, Kelly and Abbey alternated nights-one in bed with me, one sleeping on a chair-footstool-chair combo.

I took the girls down to the pool when ever I could. We ended up going 3 times total for almost 2 hrs a time. I had a few long breaks between elevator duty! I tried to do several shift when the girls were in bed so I had some late nights and early mornings. And yes, I rode the elevator up and down for 1/2 hr pushing the floor buttons so the kids wouldn't get in there and push all the buttons. Most of the time, the time went quick and the kids were pleasant to talk to. At a midnight shift, I did have a drunk couple that had some not so nice words to say about the kids and me! Thankfully, they were on the 4th floor and not the 15th floor! I did most of my shifts in the glass elevator so I was able to see beautiful sunsets and sunrises!

It was a fun weekend but I am tired! I'm ready for bed already and it's only 7:30 (6:30 before the time change!)
