Huck Camp II - Day Two

Day Two: Monday, July 4th, 2011 - Huck-Olympics

This is a really fun day where we all compete in different sports. There is a big sign up for whoever wants to play. Some of the sports include: volleyball, basketball, belly flop, ping pong, corn hole, shuffleboard, putt-putt, and others.

Signing up for the fun

We began the day with the scouts raising the flag and singing The Star Spangled Banner

Robby, Austin Huckvale, and me/Jonno (he was my sub when I was nearly dying from heat exhaustion and blisters) were on a team for basketball and got 2nd place! Pretty good! It was fun playing out there!

2nd Place

Rick's team won, of course, and they are amazing! But we put up a good fight. :)

The other teams:

Bob, Ryan, Amy
Probably the cutest team

Dahveed, Tara, and Tyler
David had on a long sleeve shirt and long socks before we started and I thought he would die of heat exhaustion. He claimed to be fine since he is Arab. haha

Terri, Josh, and Donny Terri elbowed me in the face and was so funny/cute when she played and made a few baskets! Josh is a crazy good player! And Donny loves to cheat. LOL I would get scared when he'd come defend me since he'd usually yell something funny or jab Austin.

Next we played in the volleyball competition. Me, Bob, Shaun (Jenny's boyfriend), and Robby were on a team and WON FIRST PLACE! It was awesome! We compared ourselves to the UofU since we really probably shouldn't have won because the team we competed against for the championship always wins and are freakishly good.

Robby, Nancy, Shaun, Bob:
1st Place Volleyball Champs

For example, one time Rick and Tara set up a perfect play and Tara spiked it down really hard right at my face. I just closed my eyes and stuck out my arms and returned it back perfectly to get us a point! We all just started laughing since it was so lucky.

We were all excited for this win!

Derrick vs. Jeff in Corn Hole.
I guess this game is really popular in Kentucky! Robby and I lost the first round-- I was amazed how good some people are!

Another awesome one was GRANDpa vs. Shaun in the age 11 ping pong championship. Shaun had to sit on one hand and play with his non-dominant hand to make it fair. Grandpa rocked it though and won! He was REALLY good!!

We were all pooped by the end of the day and I was sore the rest of the week and it was so worth it. Great day! Shaun even said this was the best day of his life. :)

Huck Camp II - Forever Strong

We went to the Huckvale Family Reunion at GRANDpa and GRANDma Huckvale's house in Southern California last week. It was a lot of fun! We love our family!

There are LOTS of pictures so I'll try to tackle it one day at a time. :)

DAY ONE: Sunday, July 3rd : Church, cars, Huck Camp kick-off - "Forever Strong"

-Church was great. Grandma bore her testimony for both her and Grandpa. The meeting was nearly over and Grandpa starting pointing at the stand and looking at her until she went up. Haha- He's a man who gets what he wants! They have the most sincere testimonies and love seeing their family live the Gospel and be happy.

-Afterward, there were some people coming to look at their house that is up for sale ( :( so sad to see them leave that house!) so we went over to the ware house and looked at all of Grandpa's cars.

This is Nancy's Favorite
(and it is actually GRANDma's car since it is the only one with HER initials written on the driver's side)

Nancy and Haley going for a drive!

Nancy, GRANDma, GRANDpa, and Jonno
I love their 4th of July outfits of choice!

-After we left the warehouse, we went home and ate some delicious dinner. We had fun catching up and then had the Huck Camp kickoff to introduce the theme: Forever Strong.

Grandpa and Grandma had seen the movie before and loved the message and decided to make it our theme. Grandma shared that Jonathon and her had talked in the past about the importance of remembering our ancestors and protecting what the Huckvale name stands for.

Donny announced that Grandpa and Grandma would be moving soon up to Boise, ID to be closer to family and hopefully that can allow Grandpa to heal better. We'll be sad to not be able to come visit down in CA where there are so many great memories but happy they'll be nearby!

Bob invited everyone to talk about their goals they'd made (this was the reason I ran my marathon-- see my other blog happyrunningduck.blogspot.com for more info). It was nice sharing that with Grandpa.

Then we watched the movie Forever Strong up on the Sport Court. It was really good!

This is a picture of the cute Langfords who were laying down in front of me-- they all fell fast asleep!

Everyone was exhausted after the movie since we were all still catching up on traveling so far the day before to get here. Trying to fit 53 people in a house is quite an accomplishment! Bob's family got to stay in the master room and we found we could even fit all four of us in the king bed! There were air mattresses all over the house on the ground and even out on the deck.
