Pranks - August th and 10th






Before Youth Conference this year, I decided to buy Silly String to have on hand if opportunity presented itself. I talked to Sis. Lowry and we decided to ask Flaming Gorge Resort if they had any zip ties that they could spare. Guess what, they did! Following a very fun and long day on the river with 42 youth and leaders around 11:00 everyone settled down and went to sleep. YM on one end of camp and YW on the other. Sis. Lowry and I waited until we heard soft sounds of YM leaders snoring and we slightly unzipped their tent and plastered them with Silly String. After a few seconds, a large hand grabbed my arm and I dropped the silly string. We ran off and hunkered down in our tent. After what seemed a long time, we felt a thud on our tent. We waited and waited and decided to try it one more time. We snuck quietly along the path and attemped to zip tie their tent. Sis. Lowry went around back and I tried the front, but the YM leaders were ready. One picked up Sis. Lowry and pulled her shoes off and threw them into the trees. We were chased off. We went back one last time to try and find Sis. Lowry's shoes in the darkness. We were accompanied by the "Red Dragon" squirt gun. Bro Allred came out into the night this time and played the Bishopric card. We were reminded about how this would look to the YW in the morning. Bro. Allred did tell us to go find Bro. Cogswells tent, but we just went back to bed. Around 6:20 in the morning, our tent mostly collapsed (thanks to the YM leaders). Everyone was laughing in the morning. Last night I received a text from Bro. Boase that he needed help getting silly string off the tents. Shortly after the text I rec'd a phone call too! Trav and I showed up with WD40, but the silly string was off. I should have known that retaliation was soon to come. This morning I awoke to my front yard toilet papered and my car and front door silly stringed. The grossest thing was the forks dipped in vaseline stuck all over my front yard. Yuck! Good times!

Jules--

This is Nanc's niece, Sher-Bear. I am a stealthy follower of your blog. :)

I finally had to comment though, because I think I know your "Sis. Lowry." Does her first name start with an "M?" And is she married to a man with red hair, and does she have four children?

I'll check back for your answer...

No, my Sis. Lowry is Ali Lowry, married to Adam Lowry (dark hair). They are both from LA and went to UCLA. They do have 4 boys. She is super cute!

I checked out your darling blog. Your NY trip looks amazing. Love your pics of the Sacred Grove. That is on my "bucket list".

Take Care...Jules
