Just like back home I suppose, the young people here are looking for something to do. They are so used to just sitting around or getting together to get wasted and calling that a good time. We've started helping out with the youth at the church to provide social things and outings...you know something to do. 
This past Saturday we had out first get together...BBQ and games on the Beach! It was all girls but they loved it. Dennis taught them American football which was a riot. He also taught them Bocce and we shot off a stomp rocket, made pyramids
(a throw back to my cheerleading days) played a few running games and just laughed. Dennis' team always managed to win...imagine that with Mr. Competitive on their team! Thankfully we were treated to a gorgeous day which helped alot. 
Funny thing, we were the only ones out there grilling and we even had to bring our own grill. Oh well the burgers were great. I served baked beans and coleslaw and chips. Guess where they put the baked beans? On their hamburger... At least they ate them which is more than I can say for the coleslaw. . The next night at youth group the girls gave the guys heck for not being there saying they had had a blast. It was something to do that was fun.
