Surf's Up!!

Who can resist "Dollar Night" at Surf n' Swim? Not us!! Seeing as it was UEA weekend, we decided it would be fun to go swimming, since we could stay out a little later! We loaded up a mini van and one car and headed off to the FREEZING cold water! They must turn the hot water heater off on dollar night to recoupe some of the costs! None-the-less....we had a great time playing Marco Polo, (Which I, Sis. Burke, Won... as usual!! :), fruit, and then two other games that I can't remember the names of, but one was a dance move game and the other a "cross your hands and hope you don't get out" game. I need the girls with me while writing these posts, as I can't remember a thing after we get home! The waves would come on and we'd find ourselves making games out of that too!! We all lasted a couple of hours, and then it was off to Little Cesars to purchase two "Hot and Readies" to devour on the way home. Six girls had two boxes of pizzas gone before we made it half way down Gentile! Surfing makes one hungry, I guess!! It was a great time had by all....thank you Surf n' Swim for providing $ night, so that even the "low on budget" girls can have a fun, and entertaining activity!I have to finish by adding that our girls are AWESOME!! Tonight they invited a sweet girl in our neighborhood, who isn't a member, to come to the activity. They all included her while she was there and then invited her over to another house after to watch a movie. When I asked them about her, their reply was that her family has spoken to the missionaries and that they hoped she'd want to learn more after being with us. We told her she was welcome any time to come join us....let's hope she does! Great example to us all....little Sisters! Can't wait to see you Sunday!
