Rome Sweet Foam

Last week the guys hosted another hit event. In honor of Darell's 14th birthday, the bottom of hold one on the Grace was yet again transformed - this time into a themed gladiator competition with jousting, fighting and togas!





By the end of the evening, all the foam was broken into pieces - but like true gladiators we didn't let that stop us! We just used a couple of the discarded togas to make big bundles of foam with which to hit each other with!


It looked so fun that Anne and I decided to have a go at it.



She most definitely kicked my butt - but it sure was fun!


Here are some of the top runners for most character:
Ferocious Jordan

Warrior Chandler

Courageous Kris

Ultimate Frisbee

Spring has most definitely arrived down here in Louisiana. To celebrate we had an awesome game of ultimate frisbee out in the field next to the old coast guard building. Here's a picture of some of the team. You might notice we're a bit muddy - we'll come back to that in a minute.


I don't have any pics of the actual game - was too busy running back and forth across the stupid field. However, after the absolutely exhausting game of frisbee we played some other games like - 'Red Rover' and the slightly lesser well known 'Let's All Hold Hands In a Circle Around a Barrel and Try to Push Someone Into It'





Once the games were over, we just played in the mud :)

Dance Party

Since we don't know when we'll next be heading to Israel, we (the crew) have found alternate uses for the cargo holds - dances, movie nights, and coming soon. . . gladiator night!

We've even got our very own DJ!




Here are a couple of pics from the dance - it's great cause we can be loud and crazy without disturbing those less inclined to such behavior :)
