Throwback Thursday v. 5

Not many words can express the joy I get in seeing this photo.  All I can say is that we all were kids once.

It's a great shot of Hunter, Becca, Jaycie and Megan on December 31, 2008.  Becca would have been a seventh grader and the other three were in sixth grade.

You're all grown up!

Throwback Thursday is back!

That's right!  This is our fourth version of Throwback Thursday.  Above you can see a nice picture of Alex Heskin, Michael Johnson, Grant Hanson, Tyler Lehikoinen and Jim Lehikoinen.  This is from our New Year's eve lock-in in 2008 celebrating the beginning of 2009.  I believe that would make these 4 boys 6th graders!

Hope you enjoy this blast from the past!

First Day of School!

So today is the first day of school!  In some ways it is sad and we loathe the first day of school.  But at the same time it is an exciting time of year!

What is your favorite thing about school starting back up?  Or what is your least favorite thing about school starting back up?  Or maybe you have a story about the first day of school.  Post it in a comment, we'd love to hear.

Most of you know my favorite first day of school story.  I was a freshman in high school, just moved to a new city and it was my first day at a totally new school.  It was a big school too, about 2,000 students.  I knew no one, not one person!  I survived my first three classes but then...lunch!  I walked into the cafeteria where 1,000 students were busily greeting each other and talking about all the fun they had during the summer.  I looked for a seat and found an open spot on the far end of a table where a few girls were sitting.  My hope was to stay out of the way and figured I wouldn't bother them by sitting at the other side of their table.  Unfortunately, as soon as I sat down the girls all stood up, picked their lunch trays up and walked away!  It was the lowest feeling I have ever had!  I don't remember how I survived that day but eventually I made friends and "fit in" to my new school.  But it was the worst first day ever!

I hope you all have a better day today then I did in 1995!

And we're back!

That's right!  We started Senior High youth group back up last night.  We had a great bunch of students show up on a humid and hot night!  But we had lots of fun.  There was ice cream, prizes and a cell phone picture scavenger hunt!  Here are some of the photos:

Welcome BACK!!!

We are excited to announce that youth group will be starting back up SOON!  It has been a long summer and we have missed being surrounded by the students of Bayside youth group.

On Sunday, August 25th we will have a senior high "WELCOME BACK TO YOUTH GROUP" night for all students in 9th-12th grade.  We will meet from 6:30pm-9:00pm.  It will be a fun night of games and prizes as well as fellowship and a time to hang out and catch up with everyone from youth group.  The following Sunday we will not have SR HIGH youth group because of Labor Day.  And then we will start up our weekly Sunday night SR HIGH youth group meetings on September 8.  Once again we will meet from 6:30pm-8:00pm on Sunday nights this school year.

For JR HIGH students - we will be kicking off youth group for all students in 6th-8th grade on Wednesday night, September 11th.  JR HIGH will meet on Wednesdays this school year from 6:30pm-7:45pm.  And again this year we will have FREE dinner available and provided at 6:00pm.

Let me know if you have questions.
Can't wait to see you all again!
