Wild, Wild, West!!!

24 preteens from CrossWalk went to Carters' Cabin Friday night for their "Wild, Wild West" party. Games were a blast. (Ask Pastor Dave how a bathroom plunger felt on his head!) It was so welcoming to take the 10-minute hay wagon ride to the shale pit and have our cookout all prepared: lanterns were lit, bonfire was blazing all thanks to Jeff and Chris. We consumed 60 hotdogs, three bags of marshmallows, and a couple bags of chips. (Don't tell the parents about the junk food!) Then we ended with the traditional stop at the Trading Post and adults vs. kids tug of war. Ask any preteen who won...and why it wasn't fair!!! We thank the Lord for the opportunity to enjoy His creation, the help of many adults, and the safety of the evening."
