couch time

For fun night this week we were invited to Margo's house for an evening of relaxing, hot tubbing, couching, and conversing.

africa night

Africa night was representing Ghana, Congo, Kenya and South Africa. The food was awesome...

There was great storytelling by Asanda...

And even some fun skits and games.

caramel rooibos in a castle!

All of the GSP girls got treated to afternoon tea in the castle. Scones, fruits and cheeses, pastries, you name it!

corn rows

Team night at Poor Richard's followed by some star gazing at Garden of the Gods.

Today we took a trip to the zoo.

jive's

A couple of the teams grouped up this week for team night. We ended up at Jive's, a local coffee shop playing spicy uno and listening to live music. So fun!

out and about

This free day was a blast. A couple of girls and I explored downtown, went to a coworker's house for baklava, had dinner in Manitou, and took a little detour through Cave of the Winds and Garden of the Gods on our way back to the Glen.

girl's night

More fun in Aspen! Is anyone suprised at the presence of pizzookie? I think not.

hole in one

Team night this week was basically program night. We all ended up at a $2 mini golf joint filled with statues of all sorts of random animals. And for the record, I did get a hole in one!

the fourth

We went to the air force base to watch fireworks for the Fourth of July. The next night was our turn at culture night! We had barbeque pulled pork sandwiches, green bean casserole, corn bread, and a pizza cookie to look like an American flag. It was such a fun night filled with some trivia and games! As a bonus we took the opportunity to introduce everyone to an American classic, The Sandlot!

psalm 116:5-9

The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The Lord protects the simplehearted; when I was in great need, he saved me. Be at rest once more, o my soul, for the Lord has been good to you. For you, O Lord, have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling; that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
