A Fall Party

Colorful leaves, fresh breeze, lots and lots of pumpkins.. and not to mention one week off school... of course we needed to use this opportunity for a party - a fall party!

We had super fun games, amazing food, great decorations, costume competition...
We had so many kids come, it was amazing!
Fruity shish kebab, guacamole throw-up, and "guess how many" + pumpkin cookies, pumpkin pie... Lots of yummy food! :)
 Explaining the games, taking pictures, waiting for volunteers to get ready for a game...
Top 2 pics: a game where each group of kids had to make lemonade out of water, lemons and sugar. They spit it out in a pitcher. (our 2 most bravest kids actually drank the lemonade in the end - their idea, not ours! :)
Bottom 3 pics: "Find gum in the flower" - so much fun! :)
A group picture! :)

After all the crazy games Shawn talked about the spiritual world. We shared the gospel and talked about God and satan, and how calling ghosts, going to fortune tellers... is very dangerous and is not a game.

We then walked to the center of Kočevje where most of us played Assassins. It's a game where you get a piece of paper with a name of one of the contestants. We say "go", count to 30, and the game starts. You need to find the person whose name is on the paper, and hit them with a ping pong ball. But.. someone else got a piece of paper with your name on it and is trying to hit you with his ping pong ball :) Super fun game! We played it for almost 2 hours, and there was 22 of us playing! :)

We ended the night with hot chocolate and great conversations. Such a great day AND celebration of fall and all the pumpkins it offers :)
