Reading Group: Uberchill

A few years ago some of my siblings and I started a reading group. After much debate, discussing and arguing, we finally decided to call it Uberchill. Basically, it's two words combined:
Uber: Uber is a prefix that means 'super' in German.
Chill: Modern slang for hang out; relax.
At first I really wasn't sure how successful it would be, but I needn't have worried.

Meet the Uberchillers (or at least most of them): 

This picture looks pretty tame, but trust me... some evenings, we are anything BUT tame. This is more like it.

We meet once a week and start off by reading, then finish up by playing games or just hanging out. Sometimes though, if everyone is in an especially rowdy mood we ditch the reading altogether and skip right to playing games and hanging out.

This week was my last Uberchill since I'm moving and so of course, group photo! That however, was easier said than done. Everyone was too busy goofing off! To be honest, it was a bit annoying at the time but now I'm so glad we got those shots!

Emily and Bailey:

There was so much movement going on, it was hard to capture everyone at a standstill. The highlight of this photo though, is totally the face Brett (far right) is pulling. Hilarious!

After we successfully got a good group photo, we decided to do just the girls and then just the guys. The girls (minus Sarah who took the picture):

And the guys:

While I was taking pictures of the guys, the girls kept trying to steal the show... but because of that, I got this shot. And it's totally priceless.

Us girls opted for jumping off the bench, but those didn't turn out too well. Half our faces are distorted and we look a little bit crazy...

Please don't ask what they are doing... I haven't the faintest idea. Ben (far right) doesn't look impressed.

Look at the wide variety of differing facial expressions... from completely silly to picture perfect smile. Then there's the in between "I'm sort of amused expression" to the "lookin gangsta" face. 

One last group photo:

Seriously, this group of (crazy) people is amazing and they're all pretty awesome and fun to be around.

Uberchillers, I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to get to know you all and share laughs and good times with you. I'm going to miss you all... and I expect you to miss me too ;)
