Summer 2009 Teen Center pics

Here are some pics from this this July down at the teen center. More to be added later today.


(new carpet really makes the pool tables look good!)



Teens playin' up on stage, mostly on the guitars that are the teen center's for them to use.

You practice on Wednesday nights, come and play at the tournament and take home trophies, right Eric!

Lodge Improvements July 09

Last weekend, we were so excited that we got to make a trip to the lodge so that Dave could install the carpet and test Non-Toxic's new digital camera.

So here are some pictures with the new camera of how it all went:

Here's the carpet being rolled into
the lodge on top of the rolls of padding. It was very, very heavy!

And Look! Just like that it's in (ha!)
Dave also ended up putting down the flooring in front of the doors in addition to the pad and carpet.







After the pad, carpet and other flooring was put in, Dave fixed the upper kitchen cabinets and put some more doors on the bottom cabinets.






And now, with the carpet-it's a nice atmosphere to sit on a comfy couch in front of the fireplace sippin' some coffee or cocoa.







This is a close up the amazing coffee table that was commissioned for the lodge specifically. David G. Flood (not Dave) took this oak slab and created this table and then carved and painted
the center scene. It is just AMAZING!

Okay, now here is some evidence of how muddy it was up there at the lodge. They all started clean, but that's now how they ended up!! By the way, the mud is gray, so look closely at the arms.. everyone's are just caked with clay-not mud I guess. They tell me that there is definitely a difference.

Inside work at the lodge

This was some inside work that needed to be done on the new addition. The guys are helping Date put up a moisture barrier.

They work hard
and
then play hard:

ATV riding up at the lodge. The guys ride around some of the newly made trails up at BearClaw Lodge.

The zipline is a go!

Clayton tries the zipline after the tower is built. The guys love it!

Men at work!

All the guys are working on the zipline tower getting it ready for next week's retreat.
