We took our youth group to Schaumburg, IL to get away for a night. When we got to Schaumburg we all went to Fuddruckers for lunch. Yum Yum! We then went to Gameworks (big arcade) for 2 hours of unlimited play. We all had a blast :-) After treking back to the vans/car (we had a hard time finding parking)...we headed for the Embassy Suites.
4 of us leaders had to keep 14 mostly junior high boys and girls contained and quiet in the large lobby while the other 2 leaders check us in. Containing was the easy part. LOL We then spent some time in the lobby area for our first Bible Study time before heading for our rooms. We looked at Proverbs with them and Compared what God had to say about Hard/Deligent workers and Laziness. While we were studying a high school group came into the lobby and were taking pictures for their Sadie Hawkins dance. Major Distraction. I think the guys had a harder time with paying attention. It was a great lead for us girls tough to talk about Modesty :-)
I had a fun room full of 4 Junior High girls. Everyone loved spending time in the pool, playing games in the rooms, walking around the hallway balconys overlooking the lobby, eatting food, and laughing. We had some really great small group times looking at Proverbs at what God had to say about the things He hates, and Gossip as well.
It was a great weekend of getting away from our daily lives and having fun as we shared some Bible Study time. I was very glad to sleep in my own bed last night. Hotel Couches aren't exactly comfortable :-) But i am So thankful for the time i got to share and study with my girls.
I love that everyone in the group shot looks good but me! Fun times
