Annual Fall Retreat - Classis Eastern Canada - Part 2

After lunch it was time to split up into 4 groups.  
On the menu was something new
Archery Tag. 
Never heard of it till then. 


Oh, and I see THE DAB out again. 
Way to go Ella. 


And yet another Dab. 
Whoot. 


So, the idea is to line up as two different teams and use blunt ended arrows to get each other out.  

The masks were a bit gross, and fogged up, but they were necessary for safety reason. 



Time to suit up. 


And line up.  



Ready, set...

Go! 




Time to arrow up.  



Some were pretty good at this.  





Chris and Jeannine had done this before, you could tell. 


Another round.  




I took a turn as a protector. 
Shielding my team with a frisbee.  : ) 



Rachel was on the other team.  





I'm hit...I'm hit.  


Another round. 





I gave it a try, but I wasn't the greatest Arrow shooter.  





Sequence shots. 








Rachel really got into the spirit of this game. : )




They did many variations of the game. 
This one you started from the different corners and ran to the middle to get the arrows. 







Break time. 


Yep, Karlena,  the masks are hard to adjust, and gross! 




William was a natural.  




Katrina was pretty good too. 
She didn't learn that skill from me. : )









Get that arrow at all costs.  :) 





Nice shot whoever took that.  :) 

uh oh....

The last three standing, and the dance that follows.  




Then it was on to horseback riding.  






Loved by some, but not all.... a.k.a. ME! 











Time for some Improv 

Dan has done some improv as well.  


different skits are always done.  

Here's Katrina and Dan doing something.  


Interesting....


Moving on to actual archery. 




This group took it very seriously.  : ) 










Ready Rachel?

Look at the target, not the camera. 

Nice shot. 





oh, back to some improv stuff. 





And archery.  That's a nice picture

using props now in the improv time. 





Hey Ella. 
Back at Archery again.  

I gave it a try. 



Was an average shot.  : ) 


Then we had free time.  

Scott chillin with his group. 




One more time at archery.  

Hey Ella.  


Elizabeth was a good shot too. 


Free time meant game time. 

And then supper time.  

I gave the camera to Katrina. 
Big mistake. : ) 


She took some impressionistic pics. : ) 



Group hug with Debbie.  


Awks.  : ) 


After supper we started with worship once again. 


And then it was time for THE FIDGETS annual evening show.  

All sorts of goofy skits. 

This one is called FREEZE
This poor young lad is used as a prop for all sorts of stories. 





He was a good sport. 

Here Dave is guessing some scenarios
Some sort of army thing I think. 




No idea what is going on here.  :) 


Chris and Dave doing a skit with sound effects.  


Dave trying to figure out a scene acted out without words. Skit is called Jibberish. 

And this skit involved the courtship of Mike and Mel. 
There will be a short clip of that at the end.  

Ended with Karlena and Rachel doing a skit with Dave and John moving them around.  

Was hillarious. 


I'm always amazed at what THE FIDGETS come up with.  




And how much fun it is.  

Game time before bed.  





Then a good sleep and time to face the day...
Well maybe for some of us.  :) 

Good morning John.  

And Scott.  


Dan with all of his friends.  : )
Just kidding Dan.  

Jamming

and breakfast time for Reuben : )


And now story time.  

For Reuben and for all of us. : )


And then another game.  



Guess te icon.  

And a final FIDGET Skit called Slide Show. 



The strangest pictures






Always love THE FIDGETS


But, the audience seems unimpressed.  : ) 
Must be overtired. : ) 




Ah, there's some smiles. 

Dave taking quality time with Reuben.  

Worship time. 

Dan Time. 


Chris and final FIDGET time. 


And we end with a group picture time.  
Well, if John would GET OUT OF THE WAY !  : ) 


OH, Bother.  

Finally. 


I had accidentally set the camera to take 10 shots in a row, so here I am running to get into my shot pose. Enjoy.  : ) 

















Finally! 
Another great Retreat weekend in the books. 
What follows is some video footage of some of THE FIDGETS skits. 
Enjoy. 









This Clip is called Late for Work. 
The boys version.  
I think the Girls did a better job personally.   : ) 


This clip is from Sound Effects. 


This is a brand new FIDGETS skit. 
Called TWO HEADS
Dave and Chris each say one word each in a sentence. 
John and Dan each have to say the same words at the same time. 
Hilarious. : )


This short scene is from Jibberish.  
Can you guess what they are trying to get Dave to figure out?  

Mike and Mel were kind enough to share their first date with us. : ) 
Here is a short clip introducing and the start of their date.  


A short clip talking about Mike and Mel's first date. 
John is Mel and Chris is Mike


Final skit is called helping hands in which Rachel and Karlena help Dave and John act out a great scene.  Enjoy.
