FLORIDA

Last week we spent a afternoon at the Golf near Pensacola FL. We all had lots of fun walking/running along the shore line, picking up sea shells, and building sand castles. It was great fun!

Allison found a goofy looking sea creature on the sand.

We're pretty sure it was a stingray egg.

Dad and Allison investigating...

Miranda and Laurissa are definatly two-peas-in-a-pod!

A few days later our family took a little "vacation", and went to the Kennedy Space Center.

It was an awesome experience!

Here is the actual Atlantis Space Shuttle.

Smiles in the tunnel...

This ginormous machine is used to transport space craft to the launching pad.

Here is where NASA launches most of their rockets and shuttles.

The NASA headquarters.

For apollo 8 they used a rocket very simular to this one.

Since this post is getting bit long I think I'll call this good enough. At least now you have an idea what's at the Kennedy Space Center. But of course there was much more, like the iMax theater, the tour bus ride, the rocket launch simulator, hall of fame, and so much more.

Until next time...

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!"

We Care Prison Crusade

We Care, which is located in Alabama, is a five day event that is packed full of ministry. Every year it is said that around five hundred people volenteer their time to the prisons.

A week from last Sunday, everyone has to gather together in one building for orientation. It's mostly speakers telling you the rules, (or basicly the do's and dont's inside a prison), but earlier in the morning there was a church service. We did a lot of sitting, but it was all necessary.

I was only able to take some pictures on Sunday because unfortunately you had to have special permission by the athorities to bring any type of camera into a prison.

So... By saying all that, here are some pictures of Sunday morning.

They actually had the Sun. event at a University.

This year's Title was ReNew Hope.

The Durocher family provided some of the music during the service.

I don't remember what this quartet was called, but they were really sounded good.

After the church service, we all gathered in the cafeteria and ate our lunch.

Well, that's all for now folks!

Stay tuned for more pictures later of our visit to FLORIDA...

Texas Travels

Texas is a big state, which means lots and lots of driving time.

Here are a few photos of life on the road, plus some fun stops we made on the way.

Matthew, taking a turn at driving our bus.

Miranda made us all some yummy smoothies.

Mom, washing dishes.

In Navesota Texas we found a bunch of pecan trees. The girls had fun gathering and then later shelling them.

Buck-ees!

Blue Bell Creameries.

Ice cream!!!

Family is the best!

"And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,

even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."

Friends in Texas

We are in Texas!

This past week we stayed at some good friends of ours, the Telfer family.

They were such a blessing and encouragement to us. We had a blast!

Playing spoons.

We also played some Catan.

~ Miranda and Hannah ~

Friday evening we sang at a church near San Antonio TX.

The concert went really well and the people there were once again very generous.

Thank you so much!

After the concert, the Telfer's treated us out to Krispy Kream Doughnuts.

We actually got to watch them being made!

Pick your choice of flavors!

They were so awesomely delicious!

Here is yours truly, having a bunch of Krispy Kream hats stacked on top of her head.

~ Grace ~

On the way back from Krispy Kream, the Telfer kiddos rode home with us in our RV.

This is what happens when you pile a bunch of young people in a vehicle who are hyped on sugar.

This is the bunch of us girls.

We had a awesome time together!

Thanks again Telfer's for inviting us to your place and giving us such a wonderful and enjoyable experience. We will be missing you bunches!

I tell ya, these two girls loved to hang out with each other.

It was sad for all of us to have to say good-bye.

The lovely parents.

In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths."
