End of Summer...

...and what a summer it was!....first day of Autumn today! Time for the trees to lose their old leaves look ugly for a while in preparation for a beautiful spring growth....hmm...So how does one spend the last Weekend of Summer?
ROAD TRIP OF COURSE!
So the story goes that I needed to deliver Simon's amazing pathfinder with heated leather MOVING when you turn the car off seats and sunroof to Westbury...and this just happened to coincide with Devonports AWESOME...'we aren't having a lame dance'...Stake Conference activity at the Devonport pool...So after roping in Campbell, Cob, and Fiona...we set off on our amazing journey...We managed to reenact pracilla queen of the dessert through campbell town thanks to the sunroof and arrived at the pool pretty much on time after spending 5 MILLION hours waiting for our KFC...Afta the pool it was off to maccas for Hot choccies with the Northern crew...Look at my amazing cake!....oh and the cake monster spotted it too! (p.s Campbell CHOSE to sit by himself...and DID infact have a good time...despite what these pictures depict...haha)Saturday was Stake YSA activity day...i'm not joking when I say this was probably one of the BEST activities i've ever been too...and i've been in ysa a LONG time so that's saying something! We headed to Risdon Brooke Dam... The crew... Split into teams and played flags...the twist being that to catch the other team members out you had to hit them with a water bomb filled with coloured JEllY or CUSTARD!! It was SO much fun...Here are some after shots...Check out the damage!...
Elle is praying this doesn't stain!...





hmm nice!....
We were told to wear clothes we didn't like...knew that Adelaide convention top would come in handy one day!



The weather wasn't the best...so we decided that Saturday night would be best spent sharing with Camille (a ysa visiting from france) our favourite 'it's winter in Hobart' activity... Mountain SLAMS!!


This was one of the first YSA things that Sam Sullivan attended since returning from his mission...

So we decided to freak him out a bit...
5 boys...5 girls...the mountain...the lights...the buble....the romance...the PROPOSAL!

haha...all in good fun...who would propose on the mountain anyway...what a LAME idea! (jks simon...jks!)
Tha Boyz....Oshare des ne? (New word from Sam..was good to brush up on my awesome Japanese skills...he was pretty impressed...i'm pretty fluent hey Mel?? haha)

Tha girlz




...and that's it

I like the idea of a mountain slam. ANything that involves chocolate sounds good. At least Jonty didn't get a gut ache like when you fed him Jess way back when!!
