This is Andrew (left) and Luke (AKA "Lukie" on the right) who greeted us extremely excidedly when we got to Mike and Sara's after a four-hour drive from Greensboro in which we came across the happenin' little town of Sanford, NC!! It had.....a......um,....Wal*Mart OH and a graveyard right beside it!! Andrew even showed us the ~PURPLE BATHROOM~ from which Mike picked the color scheme...
So after we got settled in or wutever we played with the kids for a looooong time games such as hide and go seek...in which you can get stuck in large red buckets very easily as Jessie demonstrated here
....or the "mummy game" where we wrap Cody up in blankets so he looks like a mummy....hence the name
And the FUNNEST game of all....THE DOCTOR GAME!!!! haha we used Andrew's little doctor kit to give Cody a check up...Laura gave him about 500 shots and hes still takin it like a real.....coooool guy....
Another fun 'playtime with the fam' game!! We'z bringin back the sandwhich game baby!! Julie and Cody got the sad side of the deal...
SOO playtime is finally over and we went to Mike's new church, First Baptist Church of Hope Mills, to practice the creative movment we were doing on sunday. His church is pretty nice...nothing compared to GBC you understand but it was niceness. Then Luke got sick and threw up so that was always nice. So by that night were muy tired but we still stayed up kinda late watchin Legally Blonde cuz its like Mike's little chic flick movie we took him to in Greensboro but Laura was about to fall asleep in the chair....
Julie and Cody chillin in the air matress, also used for a slime pit
only one phrase comes to mind...: AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!
(So turn ur head a little...) OK so we woke up Saturday....ONE of us very rudely awakened by a way-too-awake Cody...and sorta Jessie but she wasnt as awake....coming in and jumping on your bed singing the Mrs. Williard song "rise and shine" and then falling on top of you---something you never want to wake up to---but yea so by the time we were all up and ready to go it was time to go to church again for the Hope Mills survivor which could never match up to Colfax survivor but hey they can try with the help of the fam!! They were of course xcited to see "the OLD youth" (we dunno about that name...) and they were admirable as well...here's two of them, Colandra on the top....left and Andrew on the bottom, or...right
(So turn it again...) This is the big group from hope mills....look at those kool kids!! :) OOOH YEA!!! Forgot...ALL the pics of the Hope Mills youth are courtesy of MATT "MARIMBA" BUDD!!!! (~he's our hero~)
Who, speaking of....we have a picture of right here!! It's MATT!! Woohoo hes groovy even though he was "kinda mad" in this pic
Here's another one of Colandra and Andrew, who had apparently just eaten something really sour
Here we have a lovely pic of Ryan and Brett...2 umm...different characters....Ryan was the kinda crazy funny one that worked at uh, Eckard drug (Sorry Matt, its better than Hardees!!) and Brett had this camera he took everywhere that had a name that I all cant remember right now....
Here we get to the Sara's AWESOME cookies part!! She had to step out for a minute and left the cooking making responsibilities to Cody...AAAWW!!!! It's homemaker Cody!! And, suprisingly enough the cookies STILL turned out pretty good!! :) We ate them in celebration of Nicole's winning the Hope Mills survivor and representin GBC!! yay!!
Lukie definently needed ear muffs in the 90 degree weather
So another day passed in Hope Mills and we go to morning service at church in which we beat ALL their youth there (something that NEVER happens here) and met the ones that we didnt meet on Saturday. Strangely enough to us, their guys outnumbered their girls in their group but with the fam there the girls ruled sunday school, which was very unfortunate for Matt when he decided to make a comment about women being hostile or sumthin....yup that won him the first mob attack by the fam, in which he was just ShAkIn In HiS vAnS!!!!
Heres us in front of Mike and Sara's happy little home before its time to go...sadness
Sooo our journey to Hope Mills comes to a close with this pic of the fam with the Sowers....muy sad :(
