The youth in our church were so fortunate to be invited to a church activity in Qatar for the weekend.
On arrival, this banner welcomed us.
The Australian leader fired up the youth service kids from all over the world. After the morning service, we headed out on a dhow to Banana Island for some fun and games.
First game we played was Emu Parade. That's what the Australian's call trash pick up. Every person grabbed a bag and spent 30 minutes scouring the island for odds and ends. Hailey was proud of herself for finding a mop and using it as a hiking stick.
There was a hard core game of "Greased Watermelon". You grease the watermelon and get into waist deep water. Every player has to touch the watermelon one time before crossing the finish line. There were some water logged teens after this game.
Then came the relay races and tug of war in the water.
A friendly game of soccer.
The Grand Finally...after heading back to the dhow for lunch, the kids dove off the upper deck into the waters below. A few impressive back flips and belly flops were done.
And then singing and dancing during the ride back to the docks.
A lay over in Manama, Bahrain with a short shopping spree.
Back to Oman for another week of school.
