Treasure Hunt at the Cabin

This was my first Treasure Hunt with the family. The family consists of Dinsdales and Perrys. The Cabin is Grandma & Grandpa Perry's (Granpa Perry passed away a few years ago) Its a very special place for all the family. They grew up taking holidays there and have fond memories OF Grandpa there. Grandma and Granpa bulit the cabin. When the children came into the truth and no longer celebrated Christmass and birthdays they came up with the Treasure hunt idea so that th the family could give gifts and include the Grandparents. Happily Grandma & Grandpa Perry both came into the truth getting baptised in their 70s. Treasure Hunt still continues..hee he

MY FIRST TREASURE HUNT


Cabin 2 were we all stayed except for the treasure hunt organizers, Brem her husband Isaac, Myra and her husband Jeff. They did an amazing job. It was very professional. The clues took us all around the cabin and the surrounding area were they used to play as children.

Breakfast at the cabin is a family affair. Myra did the beautiful table arrangement.


Isaac and his Tadcaster Beer, its from England, N yorks. Never heard of it but they like their beer.


Isaac and Brem made this version of Monopoly. They themed it for the family. Its very cool..

Friends.. coming to the uk with us!!

CODY & KRISTY MOLLET



These are two very good friends of ours, Cody and Kristy. The plan is that they are coming to the UK with us. I am very excited to have you meet some some of the friends i have made here.
Let me tell you a little about them.

Kristy was one of the first friends i made when i came here. I first met them as a couple when i was staying at Scott and Wendys home while i was still courting Aaron. They were coming over for dinner and in walked Cody with the longest, hugest crabs legs ive seen.
Kristy on first impression was quiet, and she is i guess compared to her husband who loves to do english accents which are all based on Austin Powers lol, however, they are a perfect compliment. Cody, funny, loud and the center of things, wereas Kristy is more tempered, very feminine, funny and my dance buddy, she loves to party as much as i do. Kristy along with another sister in the cong, assisted me in getting my wedding dress, threw me a wedding shower and along with her husband and another couple put the wedding reception together. From the get go Cody and Kristy have been true friends, loyal, there when you need them and generous to a fault.

Cody was raised in the truth since the age of 3 mainly by his mom which was just learning the truth herself in the Georgetown Congregation. Cody's grandma was the original person in their family to start learning about Jehovah, and Cody's dad never did much with it until his later years. March 2009 Cody's dad got baptized.It was such an emotional event since it was long awaited. Cody grew up in the sticks, he's a country boy, growing up he was known for his Michael Jackson dancing, and his weight lifting. Cody loves to snow board, ride his dirt bike and his big passion is golf. Cody works for Trees Inc, he goes around with a team and makes sure that the land around the electric poles is clear, its very physical work often removing and weeding eating large areas.

Kristi also was raised spiritually by her mother, and was in the same congregation as Cody. Her father was very involved in their native Indian American culture and soon he stopped studying the bible and focused on his heritage. Growing up Kristi used to dance at Indian pow wow's in competitions. Growing up Kristi moved and found out she liked to meet new young people, loved to sing, dance, and do stuff with big groups like go up to the snow, to the fair, and parties. In 1998 Cody and Kristi both got baptized on the same day. Kristi's parents didnt want them dating until Kristi turned 18, so they were forbidden to see or talk to each other, during that time Kristi Pioneered. They always knew they were going to marry each other from a young age. Kristi now works in a bank dealing with loans and mortgages and is very good at her job. Kristi is creative and loves to scrapbook she is really good at it, and Of course she loves to dance. Im hoping for some parties wood green style while im back to show them how we party in the UK..
