School Days...
The week before the students arrived was spent in preparations of the dorm. One of the areas we worked on was painting the hall and what was the games room. We did some bigger changes by moving the games room into the tv room and the tv room into the games room. We painted and put in new carpet and made a comfy cozier place. The guys seem to really be enjoying it as well.

We discovered a great new place for swimming about 10 minutes from home. We went a number of times with our kids and then when school started we brought a group of guys down to enjoy the water. The current is pretty fast though so anyone who doesn't know how to swim would not be enjoying this.






























Connor loves snakes and we happened to find a little one on the way back to the van.












Our Seniors wanted to set an example to the rest of the dorm by washing the feet of each person in the dorm. They are desiring to be servant leaders and we've seen this taking place as the year has been progressing. We've got a great bunch of guys this year and are really enjoying them.

Dorm Pranks...
Witt Girls dorm played a prank on our dorm by taking all the pool cues and ping pong stuff. They held it ransom for a song to be sung by the dorm. Our guys in turn played a prank on them while they were singing. A group of them went in and took their tv and dvd player and held it ransom for 6 pies. They returned about 2 hours later with song and pies in hand. (the dorm dads always have to approve whatever pranks take place). Lots of fun and very creative songs.



























Jake's volleyball team went to Italy for their biggest and last tournament of the season. They were placed in 6th position going in and ended up winning the Gold! Jake was named for the All Star Team. They had a great time.














Wacky Hair Day...
