Bro. Barlow

Bro. T = he is our new assistant advisor. he is awesome! such a nice guy! he made me a deal. he said that if i registered for the class he and his wife teach, i could be the first to dunk him.

of course i registered!

Jamie was soooo cold. and his sunburn did not help..

ok i freaking love sifa. haha! he cracks me up! one day he'll show up with corn rows, and another day he'll have this huge afro. i threw the football so i could get him wet & the top of his hair was soaking -- then he shakes his head like a dog would shake after a bath and just gives the biggest grin haha!

alycia. sweetheart beyond measure and awesome activities organizer!

tavys the creeper. haha.

and then of course all the people. 

originally it was thought that maybe 300-400 people would come.

then, the activities committee and the Russell's got ambitious and thought maybe 600.

and we had over 1,000.

wowza?

oh yes.

and for a summer activity.

ah! that is legit!

and the shirts that Elder and Sister Russell ordered for the first people there were also legit.

there was also so much diversity amongst the crowd.

everyone had a blast.
