YF Jubliee Tour in PA

YF had a Jubilee Tour in PA for youth from the ages of 16 to 28. Joanna flew in earlier with Juliana, but I wasn't able to fly in till the day before it started. At first I didn't think I was going to be able to make it with work and all, but I thank the Lord for opening up the doors for me to go. We had a total of three services and they were all amazing!! We stayed at the Sangers and drove about an hour to each event.  Sorry I don't have a whole lot of pictures, but there are quite a few on Young Foundations if you would want to see more! 

There was around 200 youth! It was nice to see so many familiar faces from camps gone by!

Our flight didn't fly out till Tuesday, so on Monday we took a three mile walk for our mornings exercise.

In the afternoon we went ice skating! It was the first time for me, so yes, I had a few falls, but it was a fun experience!

Love spending time with these girls!

We then went and spent the rest of the day at the Sangers cousins house. We played games till 1:00 the next morning. We then drove back to the Sangers. We got there at 2:30 and stayed up talking till 3;30. We didn't get to bed till 4:00 Tuesday morning and we left for the airport at 9:00. We had good flights back to Phoenix and then drove over 3 hours from the airport reaching home around 10:30 p,m.... Aahh I don't think my bed every felt so good! :) It was all worth it for such and amazing weekend!!

Meat, Meat, And More Meat!

Hunting and butchering time!

Joshua went hunting for the first time this year. He got the largest buck out of all the guys and was pretty proud. He is having some friends of our mount the head for him.

He also got a nice size cow elk.

A quick shout out to Joshua turning 15 this week! Happy Birthday, Bro. You are growing into such a handsome young man!!

Jaylon and his buck.

This is Justin's first buck as well!

Micah had shot a buck close to the size of Joshua's, but couldn't find it after a long search, and had to be content with the next one he got.

Last year they all went out to get a buck, but didn't see any. We were happy that they all came home with one this time!

Cutting up the meat and getting ready to grind.

Yummy burger

Notice the legos on the living room floor... They were keeping the small children occupied. :)

Joshua making deer jerky.

Our freezers are so full that we got to enjoy making bologna. 

Mom and Dad grew up having it, and all of us children love it! 

All finished and ready to slice.

It's So good!!!

Getting the jerky ready for drying.

Jenny raised a small flock of Broiler chickens for butchering.

Joshua getting all the knives sharp and ready.

Sweet Judah was left inside with Grandma.

Cutting the heads off, with little onlookers.

It was a first time for Hannah, and she did an awesome job!

With many hands the job was done quickly.

Our freezer just got a little fuller! 

We also butchered one of Jenny and Micah's pigs.

Packing Pork Chops and getting ready for sausage.

The Lord has Blessed us abundantly with very full freezers! :)
