Sunday in the Outer Banks

It all started with a visit to Duck United Methodist Church.

We enjoyed the sermon, but still miss gorillas passing through while we are focused on our tasks. 

Back home, some were relaxing on our day of rest.

Others posed for the camera.

Then, Aunt Susan came and started a PARTY.

All the fathers and all the children had a wonderful time!

Then we retired to the poolside tiki lounge.

OBX 2014: Telephone Pictionary

OBX June 2014

Let the fun begin!

With rain in the forecast for day 1, we began a massive game of telephone pictionary!

How to Play:

Get a bunch of notecards or scraps of paper.

Give each player a number of cards equal to the number of people playing.

Everyone gets 1 minute to write down some words on their top card.

Everyone passes their whole stack of cards left.

Everyone gets 2 minutes to read the written phrase, move that card to the back of their stack,

then draw a picture on a new card that depicts the written phrase.

Everyone passes their whole stack of cards left.

Everyone gets 1 minute to write in words what they think the picture is saying.

Repeat the process alternating between words and pictures until each stack has

traveled all the way around the table and back to its origin.

Take turns showing the words and the pictures to the others.

Laugh a lot.

Matthew's contributions to the game were legion.

Joshua's drawings were both elegant and misleading.

Day 2 was Sunday, so we headed to Duck UMC

for the always powerful preaching of Pastor John Tyson.

Also, we had a new addition to the OBX vacation this year.

We all enjoyed our time together with Drew Boudreaux.
