BSB Weekend

Another BSB weekend has come and gone!  This was our first year to go as a married couple, and I think Adam appreciated not being the "new blood" this year.  :-)  There were more new additions to the group who will be marrying into the fold in the next several months.  It was fun to welcome them and, in some cases, meet them for the first time.

This year, we went out to Canton and stayed in small cabins.  They were really nice.  We affectionately called them Doll Houses, because they were quite tiny!  But they did the trick, and it was nice to not be stacked on top of each other in a lake house or two.  

Not everyone was a fan of the drive...namely those from Houston, since it was about a five hour drive for them, so I'm sure next year all the Dallas-ites will be going somewhere towards their neck of the woods.  That's the joy of planning it when it's your turn.  The other years you just show up!

Here we are all at dinner on Friday night.  The "kids" all came at different times because we were working.  (Kids...working...)
The Moms

The "Kids"

The Dads

Madeleine was the youngest BSB attendee this year.  We had a lot of fun hanging out with her!

Saturday, some of the guys golfed or hung out at the pool, while the girls shopped in Canton.  We played Bingo and Reverse Charades that night after dinner together.  For games, it wasn't too torturous.  Except that our team lost.  Lame.  

This was at dinner on Saturday night--we were missing our Rye dog, but found some Rye Bread.  :-)

Sunday morning, we always have a little worship service and a "launching" for the high school grads.  I helped lead the group in a couple of songs, and since no one there played the guitar, I'd asked Troy to record an accompanament for us.  We had some technical difficulties, but we made it through. 

Since there aren't any more high schoolers in the bunch, we just recognized the college grads and then the Flaggs asked several people to share about the mission trips they've been on.  We had about six different people share their experiences, and it was really cool to hear more about what they do.  Adam got to share about our Guatemala experience, and he did a great job!


Here's to another Baylor Summer Bunch weekend!
