SOS Olympics I

Last night we had the first every SOS Olympics. SOS is a long story but what it has come to be is getting the High School Sunday School kids together every other Wednesday night for some fun activities and a lesson.

We had a great time last night I laughed incredible hard a few times. It got a little serious a few times (but at least no one was pulling others canoes, right Chad). I personally decided I better not get involved because all I would do was prove how out of shape I am getting. But watching the kids was a blast, they all had fun and wanted to do most of the events over again.

The funniest think that happened all night was these three young lads steering there canoe under the pier. Watch in the video towards the end the canoe in the top right corner. How Dillen made it under the pier I have no idea………




So with out further ado here are your winners……..
