Hick Night

So tonight we had hick night.  It was awesome!  i was way too comfortable in my Hick costume... which consisted of jeans, a camo tee, a plaid flannel shirt, my Jeff Gordan hat, a fake black eye and some bandaides.  It was fun, we did the Cotton Eyed Joe, sang some country type songs (I Saw The Light and I'll Fly Away) and watched some fun redneck videos.  It seemed that the kids liked it, and the leaders where decked out!!!  So much participation from the leaders, it was incredible. 

When we split, Catlin found a video called "Redneck 911 Call", which was hilarious.  We played a game called "Dizzy Mummy" from the "Minute To Win It" archive... the kids dominated!  They seemed to have fun as well.  Catlin spoke tonight; He spoke on Forgiveness and the kids were receptive.  After the talk, we had a bunch of time, so we watched some funny videos on YouTube.  (Shameless plug... search 'Skit Gone Bad' from FinalFrame or something like that.  Its a blooper video of a skit we were doing a few years back)

So overall, I believe that tonight was a success.  It was such an encouragement for me to see these kids excited to be at youth group.  I love being crazy and having fun with the kids and I never want to stop doing what I do. 


Planning next week... so I'll be posting next week !
