Youth Lock - In!!!

Sunday night was the youth lock-in at church. After we had a special service to celebrate our pastor's 20 year anniversary as pastor, we headed over to the youth building. Once all 72 teenagers were signed in and divided into teams, we were on our way for the photo scavenger hunt. I had a great team of 7 kids. We were given a list of about 200 random and crazy things we were to get a picture of. Our first stop was our house!! Here are SOME of the pictures we took. This is Lauren and Stephanie, two of the senior girls.

We took more pictures....those are just a few of the best ones. After our 2 hour time limit was up, we all went back to the church to hang out for the rest of the night. We all put our pictures from our cameras and made a slide show with ALL the pictures. The kids played man hunt, watched movies, ate, hung out and just had a lot of fun until 8am in the morning!!
