Guy’s weekend in Mennonite country

I was having a rough week, so the guys decided to cheer me up with a good old fashioned guys weekend. But this was no typical guys weekend…

We left Saturday morning and headed for my friend’s parent’s place. When we arrived, we were greeted by nearly a dozen Baby Boomers. Apparently they were having a reunion of sorts…a 25 yr or 30 yr reunion (I can’t remember what the time frame was) for a mission’s group that they served in down in Louisiana.

Our original plan was to go skiing that afternoon when we arrived, but we were soon engrossed in the faith based conversation and couldn’t tear ourselves away. It was like a roundtable of wise spiritual counselmen – so we postponed our ski trip for the next morning. So that we wouldn’t miss church that weekend, we went to LCBC’s (Lives Changed By Christ) Saturday evening service and heard a message on ‘the Men that God designed us to be’. How appropriate for a guys weekend…

But let’s take a step back to before our guy’s weekend began. Humble Franco thought it appropriate to share his skills with me and C-dog. Here’s an email he sent to us:

I don’t want to intimidate you guys but I attached a couple pics of me skiing.

Best Regards,

Franco Saladino

So I decided to unveil my secret:

Franco,
Don’t worry. Those photos don’t really intimidate me. It’s just a little weird that you’re going to wear those tights though. Oh, and the other photo is just a picture of someone else anyway. There’s no proof its you. Here are some REAL photos of me thrashing the mountain that will intimidate you though.

It was only appropriate at that juncture for C-dog to show us his skills. He emailed us the following photo. He was a little more humble.

We struggled to get up by 8am and out the door on Sunday morning, but when we finally made it to the slopes, it was the perfect end to the perfect guys weekend.

Journey down the mountain with us through our videos:

Guy’s weekend in Mennonite country included our Olympic debut at Round Top ski resort in Pennsylvania. Here’s a goofy video of me videoing myself as we go down the mountain.

Check out the major air that Franco caught as he hit his very first ramp at the snowboard park. He’s a natural athlete.

 

After a long day of skiing, Franco decides to take a nap on a soft bed of ice.

From where I’m standing…

I could over spiritualize this video and say something like, “ever notice how things look different under certain lighting conditions or particular vantage points? Consider Satan who loves the darkness and is the ultimate deceiver…” (Ephesians 6:12; John 8:44)

But what’s the fun in that? No need to get all philosophical and biblical on you all. This is just a cool dance performance by Pilobolus on Conan O’Brien’s Late night show. It’s crazy cool!
