Fathers and Sons Outing

This weekend we had our annual Fathers and Sons Outing.  Br. Cruz made special arrangements with a relative with property (5 acres) in Vista.  He had camp fires, s'mores, wuffums, log chopping, scary stories, before heading to our tents.  We woke up to breakfast burritos (thanks Eddie for cooking and Sis. Carter for grocery shopping!) then played flag football before heading out.  Camp was empty by 9:30 am, since everyone had a busy day ahead of them.

Temple Trip

On May 30, the youth went to the San Diego Temple.  We had a surprisingly large turn out considering that there were several conflicts: band concert, Senior Awards Night at the High School.  

Junkyard Wars, 2nd Edition

On May 22, we had our second junkyard wars for the YM/YW combined activity.  Clean junk materials (cardboard boxes, plastic, paper) were saved up by the leaders and piled in the center of the cultural hall.  We then split into teams and had a relay for the teams to collect their materials.  Each team was provided a roll of duct tape.  They then decided what they wanted to do, designed and then built their creations.  Some modifications were made along the way.  Afterwards, everyone pitched in and helped clean up.

The awards were:

Best Boat Attraction for the Pirate Ship:

Most Useful for the Shower Stall:
