Fun and Games on a Sunday afternoon

Today was our first full day at the YMCA. Being Sunday, many took the opportunity to attend church services, whether it was here at the YMCA itself, or in nearby towns. We also took to opportunity to explore in the morning. Dane and her family walked into Rocky Mountain National Park and did a couple of short hikes. Dave Milligan, Carol, Jeff, JJ, Paul, William, LaVerne, and Davey walked around the Y, and spent quite a bit of time visiting the horses at the corral. After a delicious lunch, (and believe me, the lunches here are quite delicious), we all met for some fun games in the conference room at the Twin Sisters Lodge where we are all staying. We played, "Guess the Disney Character" and a get-know-you game where we came away knowing a lot more about each other than just each other's names. We also played a funny game where we all picked names of animals. It is hard to explain, but for anyone who was there, just remember that Jasmine was and ox, and Elsie was a tiger!!

Here is the tiger hard at work!!

Davey gets to know his cousin, Pam.

Right before dinner we met in front of the admistration building for a group picture. Needless to say, I am sure with the amount of cameras out there and the amount of "1,2,3...CHEESES!!", someone is bound to have and acceptable picture of our entire group.

Having a little fun at the YMCA!!

After dinner we met again for a couple of rounds of Family Fued, where the Utahn's beat the Californians, and the Boys beat the Girls. Later a group of people started playing mah-jong. Dave Milligan even learned how to play. He now claims to be the "Grand Master." Not bad for a Lo-Fan!!!
