Anoka Elder's Quorum Summer Activity

I have to admit, I tried to talk Benjy and his counselors out of planning this Lake Activity two days after we got home from vacation. I had an idea that somehow it may end up including me in last minute items to be picked up? The day of the activity, Benjy worked in the morning, we ran to Owatonna to get Charlee and drop off Kaydree, only to get home to head up to Lake George. It was crazy....However......

it was completely worth it! Look at all the fun times that were had by all, inlcuding the wives and children!

Yes, that is Tyler and Travis next to one another, almost holding hands? ... with all their Marine, Army....yada, yada that goes back and forth! John was just the innocent bystander that didn't care: he just wanted to have FUN!

And....they did. But where did Travis go?

He was the Elder behind the boat! Audrey drove for awhile so that all three could tube together...but then Travis took over again!

The other Elders were playing Bocce Ball and

ladder ball.

They also had to harass others with water.

Even a famiy pet got to come and have fun.

Even a High Priest and his family decided to crash our party.

It turned out to be a beautiful night. The early rains cleared just about everyone else out, so we had plenty of space to ourselves.
I was sitting in the empty chair, so I can say it was nice and relaxing being an Elder's wife at this activity. They so kindly brought us chairs to sit in while "we watched the kids"... and the... "Elders played!" ;-)
We had great foodand plenty of it!
It's nice to be able to visit with people you don't always get to see on Sundays when they serve in other Auxiliaries.

Of course the little ones enjoyed the sand.

It is always fun to be able to come together as a Ward Family and enjoy one another!
