saturday was levites outing! and because i miss my levites bad, I WENT. :D
almost didnt go, because i slept late the night before and when my alarm rang at 830 my eyes felt like they were glued shut. and i had a long day ahead, so i was so tempted to just sleep in.
BUT i am really glad i did, i had so much fun and felt so much at home with the levites, even though it was like, half sec1s that i hardly knew! haha. reached late, and went wandering around swan lake looking for them. (they set up picnic mat at this really ulu shaded portion with ALOT OF ANTS. D:) the first err hour or so? was just like bumming and eating and talking, and i created an instant bond with felicia, screaming at the HUGE ants that decided to crawl across the mat periodically. HANNAH'S PASTA WAS REALLY GOOD, and ruot's nachos&cheese too! the ultimate gb flashback was tuna-from-the-can. :DDD
 
we eat. that's ruoting finishing the rest of my tuna.
after that was a short time of frisbee! and omgosh they were pretty good, ten times better than i was when i first picked up a frisbee haha. sunshine did a bit of crash and burn but we were quite nice to her! (haha THANKYOUKENNETH.) val pang had this brilliant idea of playing ice-and-water/freeze-and-melt, whichever you want to call it. (i, being anti-running, threw with tink.) haha it started out all fine and well until val decided to elect elyssa as a fellow catcher. ruoting ended up screaming and running some convoluted trail around, with elyssa chasing after her. i think the funniest part was when the screams and madness first started, tink and i stopped throwing, and at the same time went: "I NEED TO FILM THIS." and dashed for our cameras. xD i have a video of ruot running (and running and running) but am lazy to upload it! maybe i'll send it to tink to put on youtube.
elyssa the master catcher and her prey, after ruoting decided to give up on running.
sometime around here they started climbing trees. and so we have leticia climbing a tree in leggings and a skirt and still looking quite glam doing it. which was followed by " LET'S TAKE A LEVITES TREE PICTURE." where we jumped on this nice woman and she took a photo for us.
 
YES THEY LOOK LIKE MODELS I AM AMUSED.
we played in this nice field for a while, watching the juniors do like cartwheels and splits and lying on the grass and taking photos. then anne came! and we started worship: REALLY MISSED LEVITES HERE, because when we were singing it's like the sun was shining and you're sweaty and you're itchy (from insects and grass) and yet, everyone was worshipping, everyone's hearts were just pouring out to Him and it's that love and passion for God that i really miss the most. looking around and seeing all the juniors just singing to Him, oblivious to their surroundings, made me <333 KEEP SINGING OKAY.
   
ruot came up with this set of mad games, it was like based on family! we started with musical chairs, except it was plates, with roles written on them. and when the music stopped and we all grabbed a plate, that was our role: i was a "sister", and hannah was "baby"! hahahaha. that was prob the only sane part of the game, after that there were three stages: a) dress up your baby, and make baby food out of i) food from the picnic and ii) stuff from the park. b) take a tourist-y family photo! AND THE BABY CANNOT WALK SO SHE MUST BE CARRIED. guess who carried the baby hahaha. oh and you have to ask someone to take the photo for you, and you have to act out your role. c) do sudoku with your eyes shut. (one person, that is.) and ruoting, for some obscure reason, decided to print a "Hard" puzzle for us to do, which understandably, took us incredibly long, until she gave up waiting for us.
   
the babies, me and THE baby XD, and our "family portrait."
then we slowly drifted off home. i am incredibly glad i went, because:
a) levites will always be a group of people who super ultra close to my heart, closer than almost any other group i think.
b) we're all still mad. xD so it was incredibly fun.
c) worship! with levites is another <3 thing, reasons mentioned above.
d) got to see old juniors! :D
e) got to meet and know new juniors! beyond the: "HI I AM YOUR OLDOLDSENIOR PLEASE DONT BE SCARED OF ME!!!" that usually happens the few times i crash gb sessions.
(from left to right: leticia, ruot, michelleng, julia, elyssa, tink, felicia, me and val pang.)
LEVITES FTW <33333 miss you all muchly, and i thank God for each and every one of you. :D |
