Pictures from our 2008 Joint Picnic (New Hope Presbyterian and KPC-SF)

The view from McNear Park	New Hope's newest member sharing her statement of faith

Listening to complicated instructions	The instruction-giver and her humorous translator

Still listening to complicated instructions	Wondering when the instructions will make sense

Checking to see how many steps are on the pedometer	Hoping that the games will start soon..

Scouring the grounds for a pair of clean chopsticks for the scavenger hunt	Wondering where in the world are the gold coins that are supposedly around for the scavenger hunt

Some folks gave up.. there must be leprechauns in Marin County	Those who persisted made sure that they got all of their points.

Possible bribe from the wife of Elder L?? :)	Trying to open the package to distribute the soap.. little did she realize that everyone on the Naphtali Team won a WHOLE PACK of soap..!

Elder K making sure that Team Naphtali knew that his team won HATS.	"I love it!" is what one of the woman yelled when she won a Japanese colander. (You have to get one to understand.)

Wondering if Team Naphtali is going to share some of that soap, or one of the tp rolls.. or maybe even the Japanese colanders...	Teams Naphtali and Gad. Team Naphtali was the grand prize winners and went home with bags of RICE! And yes, that is a Japanese colander on Elder L's wife's head.

	Many thanks to Elder H for planning the picnic games. Thanks also go to Elder L for helping to translate the often complex directions. We all knew that Elder L is hilarious; not all of us knew that Elder H's Korean was so bad. (Good thing her day job requires English only.) The guy behind our two game leaders is Elder H's husband. He's sniffling b/c he just looked in the bags and saw all of his clothes.. the ones that we used for the "Dress Your Neighbor" game.. you know, the ones that we raced to put on while running back and forth across the wet grass.. lol. THANKS BE TO GOD FOR A GREAT OUTDOOR WORSHIP PICNIC!!
