Friday Night Pre-FUNdraiser

Friday afternoon before the Mark Park Fundraiser we spent some time getting the park ready.  It had rained and the volleyball courts were a mess. Some of us raked up the grass clippings and others did odd jobs here and there.  It was a great afternoon after a long morning in the van. My family had left around 7 AM and managed to get there around 3 PM their time.
 Kaylene and Blase worked on the courts.
 Juliana was being Juliana.  She did a bit of everything I think.
 Raking break without the break part.
 This corner is where the boys, Loman, and Darren camped in the tent.
 Sweet cousins playing with each other.  What I missed a picture of was all of them carrying the bucket together.  Adorable!!
 Levi and Jenna were watching the guys get the court ready.

Friday evening they had a pistol competition and a golf tee off practice.  Darren placed second in the pistol competition if I am recalling correctly.
 After the sun went down we got ready for the movie, Mr. Popper's Penguins.
 Normally they set up a homemade screen they have.  This time they just put a sheet up on the side of the shelter.  It works well when it is just a few people as we can all crowd into the area in front of it.
 There was a fairly intense game of volleyball still going on at this point as well.
It didn't seem to bother those watching the movie. 
 I took this picture of Mr. Popper getting "washed out" right before the sky opened up and washed us out.  We all made a mad dash for the shelter grabbing kids, blankets/pillows, electrical equipment, and odds and ends.  It was a crazy few minutes!
 We had a great concession stand crew who took good care of us that night.
 We waited out the rain and then headed home.
Overall, it was a wonderful Friday!!
