Mr. D and Mrs. M

Mr. D and I really enjoyed our opportunity to help out with Youth Conference this year with our church. We were asked to be in charge of the food for the event and got to spend nearly $1200 towards meals for the Thursday night thru Saturday afternoon event. Estimating how much food to purchase and then cooking it for a group of about 40 youth and adults was challenging, but something we really enjoyed trying to figure out. Here's a screenshot of part of the Google doc Mr. D and I used to plan out food: We went to a camp called Zion's Camp, which is a church-owned campsite in Belfair Washington. While we were there we got to play in a lake, do a service project, participate in a ropes course, and listen to leaders and youth share personal experiences about God. Here are some photos from the event: -Mr. D and Mrs. M  

This past weekend Mr. D and I went camping at Penrose Point State Park with a family we have been friends with for almost three years! We decided to carpool there together with our camping gear and all seven of us in their van. After we got there, we made hotdogs for dinner, s’mores and cobbler for dessert, and enjoyed spending time together in front of the campfire. The following morning we walked over to the water and had fun discovering crabs in the rocks. Here are some of the photos from the trip: Checking out an alive sand dollar  Looking for crabs on the water  Crazy tree and roots This was the website we used to book the reservation: https://washington.goingtocamp.com/PenrosePointStatePark -Mr. D and Mrs. M
