Journey Off The Map

We were looking forward to our churches' VBS program this summer and yet again it did not disapoint! This year they "Journeyed off the Map" and 'adventured' somewhere new every day.  Our church does an amazing job of creating a fun and upbeat program for kids and their friends from the community.  Cole was so upset that he still has to wait for one more year - he is ready to go!  To help Cole feel like he was a part of the fun we would sneak up to the balcony and watch the worship and drama every morning.  They had one guy on stage who would breakdance during certain parts of the song and Cole was just in awe!


On the final night they had a big family festival.  Drew was out of town so I was on my own with the three and was a little nervous about keeping track of them with so many people but they did great and had so much fun!  It was a late night to bed!  They had bouncy houses, rock climbing and zip lining.  Again Cole was not impressed he was too small for the zip line (maybe next year buddy!)  Again this program just reiterated how much I love our church and how they execute their outreach and service programs.  I love the community surrounding it and how our kids are growing up in a place where they see people from their community excited about God.  What a blessing!

Sun River and Portland for Mid Winter Break

Drew had a conference in Sun River OR this past winter and we made the call to tag along for a little vacation.  Things were slightly dampened by the fact that it appears Cole has developed car sickness since the summer. Ugh.  The drive was so long! However, it was worth it in the end and we had a wonderful time relaxing in an amazing little chalet, enjoying the snow, sitting in the hot tub, sledding and skating!  Couldn't have asked for more fun!  A stop at our favorite in Mt. Hood - El burro loco! A glass of wine after our 6 hour road trip turned into 10 hours due to car sickness!  Right before our Owl Walk.  We were told we could walk into the wood and hear the owls. What a bust!  3 cold and tired kids in the dark woods and no owls!  It's now a running joke in our home as the  tour guide kept 'hooting' trying to draw the owl's attention.  If we want someone's attention in the house we often hoot at each other now...
