FUEL Weekend
















Me and Gabby dressed up for 70s night... we didn't try too hard.
















Some of my awesome teammates for the Amazing race. They had to skull (chug) a blended drink that consisted of a McDonald's cheeseburger, fries, and coke! Way to take one for the team guys!
















Cricket bowling was another portion of the race.


















Elsbeth was awesome enough to jump into the pool and get the CDs that made a Bible verse so we could get the next clue in the race.


















70s dinner

















Some pretty cool people we met at FUEL!
