Mom and I attended the Johannesburg Youth Conference over the weekend. Friday night Mom was busy blowing up balloons for the evening's dance.

Saturday morning activities included throwing chalk bombs at each other. If you were hit, you were out. 

Only a few were left when I took this picture.

Other activities included making animal pulls for a local animal shelter.

Here are some of the scratch poles made for lion cubs.

It's always good when you've got a professional involved in the manufacturing process.

A physical training workout didn't go over too well. Trying to stay in a push-up position for over a minute was a little difficult after Friday night's dance.

Mom gave one of the workshops on, "How to Give Effective Talks." The site of the conference was a Youth Camp about 45 minutes north of Jo'burg.
