Last day in Huddersfield

Our last day in Huddersfield was a Monday, and it was a bank holiday. It was a wonderfully sunny day, so we went to the ward activity. We were all meeting at Castle Hill, so Heidi and I just ran there. But of course, we had to stop at the yellow field to take pictures in it.
And that took about 20 min, considering the 3 ft of stinging nettle all the way around the field that we had to figure out how to get through....and back. :)

Once at Castle Hill, the ward hiked over to a park (about an hour walk away). It was so fun to just walk and talk with ward members we have come to love so much! This is Bronte, the bishop's youngest daughter. She is adorable! ...and such a daddy's girl ;)

The wonderful Huddersfield ward

At the park, we ate lunch, and played games. There was a big football game (yes, soccer). We played baseball (known to them as "Rounders") with the little kids.

Then we taught them how to play ultimate frisbee and played as awesome game! It was super fun!
These are our friends, Luke and George...ha ha gotta love this pic! I feel like I'm taking a middle school sports picture. :) Oh, and George and I will be in the MTC together this summer - he's going to Albania!

Oh, what a great day! We didn't want to leave because we knew it was our last day with this great ward! But thank goodness for kind, good people in this world!

Goodbye Huddersfield!
(We were assured that Huddersfield is a great honeymoon spot if we ever want to come back ;))

  4. What did Michal say?! I agree that the jumping picture is pretty cool, especially you, Carrie. How many times did you have to try it before the picture came out just right? We miss you and we can't wait to see you again! Happy late birthday!
