I just had the most fun ever! We had the youth group over for a back to school cookout thing. We did hot dogs and s'mores, and played a really funny game where you strap 3 people's legs to a huge wooden foot and they have to walk in them. It's really fun. My team won (of course) and we actually made it all the way to the finish line before the other 2 teams were a quarter of the way there. It was awesome! Then we played with the dog and hung out outside for a while, playing with the fire and throwing a Frisbee around. Then we all jumped over each other's shoulders a few times, and some other crazy stuff (as the adults sat and talked about how we have too much energy)
Then we decided to go inside and play a game called Malarky where you ask a question that nobody should know the answer to, and everybody has to make up an answer and convince others that they are right. I seem to do well at this game for some reason. I can make up a convincing story pretty quickly, and I know enough random facts to throw a few in to make it convincing. The other players just said I was a good liar. I don't think it's a compliment.
Anyway, Sam is a complete nut, and he didn't understand the game. It's really quite simple, but he was being difficult, and it was absolutely HILARIOUS!

He was reading the wrong answers, and voting like a crazy person, and showing his card, and forgetting the answer. It was ridiculous. You've just gotta love Sam. Then on the last round, the question was "Why are covered bridges covered?" and Cody thought that I said "Ridges" instead of "Bridges", so his answer about safety was making sense (though not convincing) up until he said "So people don't get stabbed". We all burst out laughing and he just let it go. Then when Mrs. Neva gave her answer, he exclaimed "OH! You said 'Bridges'?" The game stopped for about 10 minutes so we could laugh. You know how they say that laughing is a really good exercise? We all lost a few pounds tonight! It was so much fun! Kind of a "Last hoorah" before college. I can't wait, but I'm going to miss these guys so much!
