The office ran away

Literally, we all ran away from the office last Friday. Beth decided our staff has been working so hard that we needed some time away to bond, and summer bonding happens, of course, with water, good food, and lots of games! Here are some memorable photos from our day away! Thanks Beth for these amazing photos!!!!

Note, for making proper "shashleek" (BBQ) you need several things...meat, long skewers, a fan (any frisbee will do), hot coals, and water (or juice) to smoke the meat as you cook it. The meat is pre-marinated, cooked and then eaten with raw onions! Bring your floss and chewing gum after this meal!

Notice me running off behind Zina (in blue) after a particularily WET hug!

Of course a summer party isn't a party without a lot of family and water! Women brought their grandchildren and the kid in the hat is my host brother. Beth also managed to giver herself a nosebleed during one frantic water fight on Ken's shoulder. Nothing broke but the boys were in awe of all the blood.
