More Waiting

You all should be really good at it by now, so you won't mind waiting a little bit for the final update. We will have more photos up with as many quippy remarks as can be mustered. Check back later this week. Also, if you want an photos or videos included in the blog or final movie let me know by commenting here.

Please Watch This

There's a good bit of joking on these posts, but the following is one video that you will not soon forget. It shows the talent that threads the the heart of CTK youth.

Wait, not that video - this one..

...or this.

Diane Shows Us How To Quake...

...and then realized we were watching.

Lots of Quaking (see slideshow called Saturday on the top left)

If you haven't been checking out the slide shows on the left then do it now by golly. There's a slew of images we put into the slide show called "Saturday".

...and the freakest dress up for the dance is...

...Steven's hair-do.

no curly on the front

no curly on the side

no curly on the back

Take a bow Steven and enjoy a caffeinated drink.

(Scratch that - just take the bow.)

On Top Of Chicago

And now for another Flashback. Here is the CTK crew on a very tall building - the John Hancock (http://www.hancock-observatory.com/en/)

Sara enjoys these Kodak moments and is always begging to have her photo taken. Sorry Sara we have to take photos of everyone.

Mr. Novy with double vision.

Cole is leading the pack here with the "Blue Steel" look. Fantastic.

Oh, hello Sara (again) - nice of you to make room for Mason and Eric.

Hurry Mary and Bethany, before Sara sees you.

Quel: "Really? Another photo?"

Camera Shy

We see them a lot, but you might see them so much on this blog - so here they are:

Mr. Perry

Mr. Novy

Youth Quake Kick Off

Chris and Jacob prepare for the night's activities. Or at least they pose in a manner fitting of people who prepare.

Sara starts the party off with the official professional dance move. (Click the slide show on the left for more photos.)

At The Hotel

Emma: "I am asleep with my eyes open. I hope I am smiling and not drooling."

Abigail: "Is Emma drooling on me?"

Jacob: "What?"

Walker: "Happy Birthday to - you - who - wait - is this a tornado drill - why am I on the floor?"

Nedas: "I wish they had chairs in this hotel."

Evan: "This bed is a little firm and a little 90 degrees for me, but I think I can make it work."

Cole: "Me strong at any time of day."

Group: "Hallway living is exciting."

Rebecca: "Hey guys, why is this so warm and where is the soap?"

Walker: "I can't see and I smell hand."

Bradley: "This is the biggest bathtub I have ever seen."

Bobby: "Ok, I think my shirt is clean, now where is the dryer?"

On The Bus And Napification.

This is what happens when you spend 30 straight hours with jr high kids.

More at the Shed

Wilkes in at McDonalds in the museum about to enjoy his sandwich.

Wilke's sandwich

Eric wishes he ordered the same thing.

But he did get the Mc Shark Pockets (yum). [This really is real sharks in leather-like sacks created from a mama shark, though I suspect the mama shark did not hang them on the underwater peg-board. Imagine these flipping around frantically in these sacks - cause that is what they were doing. Again, yum.]

At the Spongebob 4-D movie. (The 4th D includes air, water, a whipping thing at one's feet, smelly stuff, bubbles)

Spongebob coming right at ya.

Chicago from the Shed steps.

Finally, we see what happened to the Memphis Zoo's Mold-A-Ramas. Anyone else remember these?

At the Shed.

But wait. First another flashback to that wait at the train station. Here we are in a group shot 'being good to each other'. (Y'all can click on this'un for a bigger view.)
