GEMS Ice Cream Social

So, it's been a bit of time since I've posted something on my blog.  It's been a busy spring, but before SERVE begins, I wanted to get some entries in that cover the finalizing of some of our ministries.  I tried to place them in order of appearance, but apparently that didn't work this time.  There is a two parter entry, so make sure you locate parts 1 & 2.  : )  
Enjoy.  


As the GEMS year comes to a conclusion, there are some fun events that happen.  
This one describes yet another ice cream social. 
Christine is the narrator on this one.   


Ella being Ella. 
Notice that mom in the background is oblivious.  



Hannah helped set up the Kub Kars.  
They had to be lined up 'just so!'


The GEMS can invite one or two special women or girls.
Her's Elizabeth with her mom and sister. 


Cousins.
Are they dancing or playing a game?
Maybe both.  : ) 


The girls were inspecting their cars.
The excitement to race was building. 


We had a fierce battle of "Bear, Hunter, Snake"
(a twist on Rock, Paper, Scissors).  
The moms really enjoyed this game too. 


A popular game of "Shazam!"
Ask Morrisa about her experience with this game sometime. 
She just about had a heart attack!  


A bit of time to just chat while waiting for Ice Cream.


Finally, Ice Cream!
And LOTS of toppings!


We ended the evening with the big races. 


The competition got a little tense at times.  

A clear winner here. 


A pink car.  If you know Elizabeth at all, then you know that it is most definitely hers.  

Everyone had a great time at the social, as always. : )
