Keep your eyes peeled for the newsletter coming your way! ______________________________________________________________   We enjoyed a wonderful mass in a barn yesterday to kick off the 2012-2013 youth group year.  After enjoying worship with the straw, we ate a spectacular hot dog dinner and, of course, s’mores.  Then got back to our usual shenanigans! A great big THANK YOU to the Hemmingers’ for hosting such an awesome annual event.  And to Mrs. Turner for always feeding this hungry bunch!                

  What a fantastic trip down the river we had yesterday!  After 10:30 mass we drove down to Loudonville, enjoyed some lunch, loaded up the vans and enjoyed a peaceful, uneventful, joyous trip down the river :)                   HAHAHA! YEA RIGHT!  Ok, so we did enjoy ourselves and there was a lot of laughing, screaming, and heckling.  Overall, quite a bit of shenanigans.  The boys set up a phenomenal defense while the girls attacked with their best offense.  It all ended with a lot of canoe flipping, draining, re-flipping and retreating!     Sometimes it was just easier to walk.                               Hmmm…there seems to be a tree in the way.     That’s one way I suppose.               The catamaran approach.   Thanks to everyone who came along!
