Markle...our favorite summer place :)

Sorry for the time that I have gone without posting! It's been a crazy summer. Yet, the youth group always finds time to fit activities in the schedule. A couple of weeks ago we traveled to Markle after church.

 Markle is a small town with a big lake open to the public. It has diving boards, a water slide, and a small beach area. There are also large decks to float on in the middle of the water.

Markle is a yearly tradition that the youth group truly enjoys. Although CJ couldn't go, many of the church members did. Pictured are: Austin Peoples, TJ Colwell, Kate Hillman, Josh Bramlett, Leslie Hawkers, Joey Heldt, Jarob Bramlett, and Sam Martt.....and I was behind the camera.

                                We tried to get us all in the picture.......but that didnt work out so well.

Too many miles to go...

                                                  We had lunch at McDonalds...yum

But we were NOT impressed with the packeted ketchup :(

 The car ride there with two goofy boys....Jarob and TJ rode with Austin and I.

            Every half our there is a break for the lifeguards for fifteen minutes............so everyone crashed...

                                    Of course, we have to remember Markle's wonderful snacks!

And after a long day in the sun, Josh and Kate were very tired and slept most of the way home..precious :)

We are looking forward to upcoming Markle trips and encourage anyone to come and have fun and fellowship with us!

and TJ's random backpack!
