Every Saturday night we play volleyball!! And hockey. :D But it is so fun and a great bonding time for church members!

Church Family!

My roomy!

As you can see I got myself into a little of trouble. I would decide to "borrow" the kings sleeve to wipe my nose. (We were at an old castle dated around the 1300s near Kolobrzeg) The picture before is the front.

Here is the church family before we went into the castle. Cute picture I think.

A cool thing that I think all the farmers I know would appreciate. This is an old metal bending mold. You bent that pole trying to bend something else(as this happens often on a farm)? No problem! Come to the castle on Knight and Shining Armer St, we will fix you up in no time!

Here I was stepping into Narnia. Little did anyone know that Narnia is full of cleaning supplies. I also succeeded in getting caught by the tour guide and all my church members, right as I was going in. The facial expression is pretty genuine. I am sure the tour guide loved me by the end because I also managed to sit down on some chairs that he had just told everyone not to sit on. It was in polish of course so I was blissfully unaware, enjoying the plushy seat that I had found. 

Here are some of the regal majesties of this castle. We noticed that they get a little chubbier as the years go on. They must have gotten Mcdonalds around this time. :D 

This is great Lord Pumpernickel (naming complements by me). He likes to take long walks on the beach, loves to shop at Abercrombie&Fitch, and will take you to Paris on your first date.

Us walking out of castle to our battle stations.

A hall that went on forever. My physical therapist mind said that this is why no one was fat in these times. "Piv it on ur gud foot and walk back to me!!"-for my brother

Everyone has been asking if I have met a boy here. And here he is. He's not the warmest guy but let me tell you I feel protected at night when he walks me home from that date at the Round Table Inn.

The great warrior! oh wait..never mind... thats the stable boy.

This is the throne haha just kidding, this is the loo as they call it in Britain. It is a hole on the side of the building and it is about 40 feet down. Also a bit breezy. I will think again before I complain about my bathroom again.

Where the moat used to be

The castle from the distance

The second longest board in the world, about 36 meters long. Can sit 200 people and yes that is me sitting way at the end. :D

This is at a outside museum that had all sorts of things. The picture down below are the things that were there.

Julia and I posing with Kuba and Jacek, some crazy but fun boys from the church. :D

Here we are at a museum about concetration camps. This was the train that would bring the prisoners here. They would fit about 50 people in each box car. Also they had their living quarters there. They had them so cramped in there that they all had to sleep on their sides because they each had a board and a half to sleep on. Also the people on the outside would change with the people in the inside or they would freeze to death at night. There was a whistle call every 2 hours for everyone to shift to the other side.

This is Julia and I going to a bunker. This was a secret bunker where their "secret service" soldiers would go when there was a raid. We are very happy to go down into a dark cramped hole.

Here is the tunnel. Looks big but it was almost to short for me.

Here you can see me grinning happily that I dont have to duck at all in there.

This is behind the bunker. This is the longest wooden board in the word and in the distance is an upside -down house. The story behind the board is that the one I showed you before was the longest but then the Germans made one longer, so they decided to make this one  so that they could still have the longest. haha funny.

Inside the house. It was so weird feeling in there. I could't believe it. 

This is the ceiling, not my camera upside-down.

It was very beautiful there. It is very green here in Poland even though it is Fall.

Here I was posing in front of my chess team. This is at Camp Zatonie. This was another church excursion. It was a lot of fun. We stayed at cabins and had church and worship together. Was really great.

Here is some of us on a cool rock. i would like to say here that every time they went to take a picture that I would always bring the apple I was eating up to my mouth. Here was one that didn't have any apples in the picture. Just me with a full mouth.

Tom's daughter holding a cool mushroom.

Here we were going mushroom hunting. Chase was feeling like the great explorers of time.

The lake in front of the camp. I had worship here one morning and it was really amazing. Swans were swimming and the water is so clear and beautiful. I was really in awe of God's creation. Almost froze but it was still so amazing. 

Really beautiful

The mushrooms are beautiful here. Any color you can think of and its there. Really amazing.

Happy owner of a mushroom! Kinda looks like I am biting into it but Im not hah.

This Adrian, one of my students! We both found some good mushrooms! We were both basking in the glory of finding one! Mines bigger!

More beautiful water pictures.

I would like to comment here that I jumped into this water. Julia, Chase, some church members, and I jumped into this lake on Sunday. It was so crazy! But also great. The water took your breath away but it was so much fun. Julia and I ran up and took hot showers. I knew my mom would be proud of our hot and cold treatment we did!

Here is us playing volleyball. We were pretty terrible but it was fun!

Me Chase and Amelia trying to take a snooze. Was hard with the impending doomful water puddle though.

Amelia kicked Chase off to come visit me. yay! :D

a BEAUTIFUL SWAN! I really love birds and this one made my day. This was taken by the sea that is a 10min walk from our apartment.

The Baltic Sea

A famous lighthouse that is by the sea. Looked pretty neat at night. It is a real working lighthouse that is in use. Also very old.

This picture and the one below is at a some land of a church member. We went there one Sabbath for a fire and bonding time. I think that is why they call it a "bond fire." :P

A cute kitty that Adrian was holding that liked him better. :D This picture is out of order. This was at Zatonie. :D
