Potato Creek 2010

Anna, Lizzy, Kaity and Lindsay.

Future State Rep. Tim was a great motivator for his ultimate frisbee team.

One of the advantages to being tall...

Luke goes for a high throw.

Ben snags a pass...

It's a Ben sandwich! :o)

What a little competition will make us do!

 An amazing group of young people

 There was lots of joy and laughter all day long.

 William!

 I love this picture of him!

We played some Catch Phrase after frisbee.  (Thanks to Joel's helpful persistance)


 Out on the pier...

I had to include this one. This picture is the perfect image of wishful thinking.  
It takes a lot of optimism to try to go fishing with a three foot line with a bobber and no hook.

Psalm 127:3-5
