Beach games on Easter

So official with our cell phone timer, and blow horn!

We had a great Easter weekend! We started the weekend off with closing on our new house in York County- yah! On Saturday, we spent a few hours working on some home improvements (I'll post pictures later), and on Sunday we celebrated Easter at Waters Edge Church! After the service, we went to Matt and Katey's house in VA Beach, and ate a huge meal with about 15 other people, and then played Jesus themed games on the beach. This may sound a little weird to you, so let me explain...

Katey and I came up with the theme of an 'Ironman Easter'. All the guys competed in three different games, two of which had a Jesus theme. The first competition was called 'Carry the Cross'. The guys had a huge piece of wood that they had to carry from cone to cone as fast as they could. The next competition was called 'Roll the Stone Away'. In this competition, the guys had to roll a pilates ball filled with water to the cone, and then carry it back. Since it was filled with water, it was extremely heavy!

The guys were such great sports! It was really clod on the beach, especially with the wind blowing. To top it all off, we made T-shirts for everyone to wear and sport their Easter pride.
