Starting today, I will be posting different memories Brian and I have from the past 4 1/2 years at FBC Crossett. These post will be in no particular order...........they will most likely jump around from year to year and not be in chronological order.
The first memory was from May 2007. This was our first senior trip to Gulf Shores. We took 5 seniors and 4 adults (including Brian and I with none of our children..lol)
This trip was an adventure from the start! We left Crossett after evening worship and had a hotel room booked in Hattiesburg, MS where we were going to stop that night. We get to the hotel in Hattiesburg only to find out our reservation that was made by a certain adult on the trip who will remain nameless, but might have the initials of MO had made the reservation for the same hotel, but in Tupelo, MS! Not anywhere near where we were nor where we were headed. After a nice little chat and a bit of convincing we were able to get a room. Some of us slept that night while some woke up at 4am and shaved their head.....ahem..Joel Smart! Brian had shaved his head before we left (if you have read my blog long enough you will see this trend in Brian's hair...he shaves it every summer???) Well, Joel decides he can't sleep and gets up and shaves his head........just what his mom wanted to see when we got home...her good ole' country boy with a BALD head!
The next morning we headed out for Gulf Shores! We were all excited to hit the beach!! After driving a few miles down the main road where all the condos are we realized we had gone to far and needed to turn around. Here is when our next adventure took place. A certain adult on the trip was driving and his initials might or might not be MO.....this certain adult decided to turn around, but immediately we all knew something was wrong.......Let's just say if you drive a church van on beach sand.....it will sink! :)
Brian thought for sure he could PUSH the van out of the sand! Maybe if he had super powers or something, but that thing was going NO WHERE!!! Notice in the picture above there is another adult looking on.....he may or may not have been the driver. ;)
At one point all the guys thought they could just lift the van! Ha! NOT!!
instead we were towed out of our nicely made sand pit!
He may or may not have caused that tire mark. Lol!
We enjoyed a wonderful 4 days at the beach!! There are so many more memories we will cherish from this trip.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to get killed for putting this picture up! Ha!
