These images are still from January 2007. The come from a folder called SCULPTURE GARDEN.
They appear to be from a trip to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden with Bethany.
Next week’s folder is called SNOW.

Docking Station Beta
A few pictures from the 2016 Youth Group Retreat taken with the point and shoot and a couple taken with the real camera.
But like I said earlier… this won’t be the last time you hear about this group of kids.
Docking Station Alpha
As I’ve posted about before, I spent my weekend (a few weekends back) with my church’s youth group on their annual retreat to the Y Camp.
Here are some pictures I took with a cruddy camera phone of the weekend.
Jentry being oh so scary.
Docking Time!
Shawn, enjoying the fire.
Morning on the river.
The river is beautiful in the morning.

More service work.
Make note of some of the art that I’m showing. Especially if there is a piece you would like to own.
Basketball?
Competition!
More competition!
I built this fire!
Note this art!
Sad Jentry
Hmmm… Cool mugs. Kinda like to own one of them…
Last worship of the weekend.
Last Group Photo
Jentry biffed it. More than once.
MacKenzie, Megyn, and Sarah
Wood Chips!
The long walk home.
You can rest assured that more about this trip and definitely more about this group of kids will be coming your way.
A Feather in the Broad Wing of Time
Now is probably as good of a time as any to share the rest of my pictures from Layla’s third birthday party.
Such great and sorta cooperative models!
With the Plastic Eyeballs
Not everybody can be a winner. Like people who get really angry about Participant ribbons. Those people aren’t winners.
These pictures are the people-who-get-mad-about-Participant-ribbons of the FOOD theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Submitted with bits of commentary.
What I eat for breakfast about every Saturday. Because I like to eat healthy.
I’ve only been to corporate whore Starbucks once in my life, (Kim Barker made me go.) but this is what how I think about the cup “controversy”.
This picture was to suggest the size of the “Pile” Biscuits and Gravy. You’d be surprised to know how much Photoshop went into this image.
If loving chocolate milk is wrong, then I’m dropping this course and auditing a different one where my opinions are considered right.
I love sweet tea so much I should live in a place with a more moderate climate and have less of a work ethic.
Thanks Taco Bell! I was looking for a sign. Unfortunately she said “In what world?” and now I’m depression eating your disgusting tacos to feel… anything. You win twice.
The Condiment Basket.
I somehow doubt there will be so many losers next week.
Home is Where the House Is
There will be more photos from this event, but I wanted to set this photo of Layla off on its own because I like it so much.
I’m not a mentalist, a psychic, or even a psycho, but this is what I think Layla is thinking:
I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.
And I can picture us attacking that world, because they’d never expect it.

PET
Sunday was my church’s annual block party to kickoff Sunday School. Once again, I manned the PET Obstacle course. Only this year it was more like a PET Area, with a couple of chairs thrown out there.
There were way more people there this year, so it was more than just me and one kid hanging out for two hours. So that was cool.
Some pictures.

Dick, My Partner in Crime
This was just a small part of a great weekend that included FNSC, lots of scraping, the Majors Family Reunion, and concluded with a 5 year old’s birthday party. Other than the lack of sleep, it was a pretty great weekend.
And it is like the old saying goes: You can sleep when your house is painted.

Today’s picture is from Mike Toot’s 70th birthday party.

South Dakota
Probably past time I posted some pictures from the mission trip to South Dakota.
In reality I could tell a thousand stories about this trip and write a page about each picture, but I’ll hold back and be satisfied with a brief description of each picture. If you want to know more, chances are you know where to find me.
I will point out that they split our group into 4 separate groups. Because of that I don’t have pictures of some of the kids and lots of pictures of the kids in my group (TEAM INVASION!).
Also, these are phone pictures. Sorry about the quality.

I often call the Youth Group Mission Trip the best free vacation ever! But truthfully, it is the week that I grow the most as a human being. In about every way imaginable.
Birthday No. 1
Thought I might get to blogging. Maybe not on a regular basis. Certainly nothing all that planned out.
Not sure why. Maybe I’m suddenly feeling inspired again.
So I recently went to Gretchen’s first birthday party. Here are some images:
So, until I’m inspired again.
