FFF@F

Well, this weekend at Sarah's Fall Family Fun at the Farm was really fun! We drove down there on friday afternoon, arriving at the land around 6:30. It took about 3 hours door to door, so it was a very pleasant trip.

It was dark by the time we got there so I didn't really see the outside/scenery on friday night, but sarah showed me around the house and then we joined the rest of the family around the table for dinner. We did a few run throughs with the names/relationships of everyone, so when i was introduced i had a general idea of who everyone was. after dinner the kids (ages circa 10-22) went outside and played some hide and seek for a while. i came in after a little while because it was too cold. The house has a great wood stove to stand next to and warm up.

Sarah and i slept on an air mattress in the bedroom on the main level of the house in sleeping bags and blankets. We borrowed our friends sleeping bags, and the one i was using was the kind that you can zip all the way up to your chin, and it has a hood that you can put over your head. so i was nice and warm :-D.

On Saturday we woke up to find out that on of sarah's aunts had brought some horses! so some of us took turns getting on and exploring the property, it was really fun. sarah and i also did some exploring on their four wheelers :-D. the weather was so beautiful, and the sun was so warm that most of us sat outside on the hill playing cards and hanging out sipping apple cider. Saturday night after dinner consisted of watching old videos from previous family fun and the farm years and we played mafia.

On sunday we got up and had breakfast and rode horses and four wheelers some more. After lunch the boys did some skeet shooting while the girls supervised. Sarah and i headed back to harrisonburg around 2 and got home around 5. it was a very fun weekend and i am so glad i got to go!

so far this week has been pretty good, it has almost been a week off for young life. We didn't have to plan club this week because it is all area (all five of the area high schools have club together once a semester) and they didn't have school monday or tuesday. so it is kind of nice to have a little break.

next week will be a regular week, then next weekend is fall weekend at rockbridge, then thanksgiving, then two weeks of class, then finals, then i am done with college!

wooohooo
