Tsawout Winter Trip 2014: Part 1

This year, a small team (8 people), visited Tsawout for 2 nights with the goal of continuing to build relationships by hanging out with the kids, doing crafts, playing games, catching up, and  many other unexpected/interesting things.  Ultimately, we got to see how God has been working, what still needs to be done, and how we can continue to pray and support Tsawout.

Our plan going into this trip (made the night before sort of), was to spend Friday night planning and hanging out with whoever showed up, Saturday with the kids doing crafts and games, Saturday evening eating pizza and having youth group, and Sunday cleaning up and saying goodbye.  There were more than a few bumps along the way, but in the end, God took care of all of us, and great memories were made.

Friday: Day 1

Playing Apples to Apples

Cody playing the piano beautifully, even though he says he can't

We played a fun game called museum keeper, where you have to freeze like a statue when the museum keeper is looking at you, but move around once he/she is not.

More awesome looking statues!
