A relatively normal amount of people where coming to an ordinary Memorial Day Weekend Bellerive Bash... then the trash talk started! Hosea was organizing a volleyball tournament and challenged everyone! The competitiveness in the Bellerives kicked in and it snowballed from there. David couldn't take the thought of a sand volleyball tournament without him (I think he's addicted and it doesn't matter how many times he hurts himself playing). Shiela couldn't take the thought of David being here and her and Maddy not! So they all got tickets. Shawna thought it would be fun to keep it a secret but I blew it. It was still a surprise to some who never got wind of them coming. It turned out to be a large crowd of Bellerives, 44ish! We were sorry Lana & Tom couldn't make it but they were in our prayers and we sure are thankful for the supplies they sent. We had a couple extras this year too, my good friend Traci and her family (Ryan, Chase, Chandler, Carter, Jarret & Amanda) camped out with us and also had fun taking on the Bellerives in the volleyball tournament. The volleyball tournament was a blast! Thank you, Hosea!
The theme of the weekend was "Bash the Trash"! The younger kids (10 and under) put together a show. It was fabulous! There was introductions, a flag was brought in, the National Anthem was sung, and the main event was Jesus Take the Wheel sung by three beautiful girls and the beat was kept by the rest of the kids on instruments they made from recycled/used trash = Bash The Trash! After the main event they all took a bow and then the funny stuff began. There was a "gun show", some were looking for their "beach ball" and hunny, I shrunk the kid again!
The weather could not have been better! Fish were caught all weekend! A few sunburns. Only one injury (almost minor). The only thing missing were are husbands :( Chris was working all weekend; Bill, my brother-in-law, was in VA; and Vane, my dad, has been in Heaven for two years.
All in all...a good time was had by all!
