Independence Day in Romania - Missionary Style

Today was the Fourth of July and all the Bucharest missionaries came together to celebrate.  We had a good old-fashioned BBQ and then played games.  As you can see from the pictures our participation did not include actually playing the games. We took pictures.  Some of you moms out there will be so proud!

Water balloon volleyball

The Soras thanking them soooo much

The objective of the game is to put a water balloon in the towel and

sling the balloon over the net for the other side to catch in their towel.  They managed to get a few balloons back and forth over the net several times before they smashed on the ground or on someone, while some balloons died on the first toss.  It seemed like they went through about 100 balloons. 

Elder Horgmo and Elder Layton not quite in synch.

The whipping cream game

Elder Betteridge not waiting for the rules of the game.

So you squirt some whipping cream on the top of your hand then

hit your arm so the whipping cream flies off and hopefully lands

in someones mouth.

Elder Betteridge and Elder Farr poised to get the next shot of whipping cream.

Success!

Not so much for Sora Mudge.

Let's get that whipping cream over here!

The Party is Over!

Happy 4th of July!
