Adventure Clubs

We hosted Adventure Clubs at our house this year. Similar to VBS but held in 9 different communities throughout Jacksonville. There were 3 different teams, consisting of a bunch of teens from our youth group, a college person, and a group leader. Each team went to 3 different locations a day. One at 10-11:30, another at 1-2:30 and the last one at 6:30-8! It was a long day for them. Our team did an excellent job leading, sharing, interacting and teaching the children. By the end of the week the kids were given the full gospel. How exciting to be part of this! They were all invited to worship with us on Sunday, and sing their songs during the service. 4 kids from our group came with us on Sunday. We had a great week. We will definitely do this again next year.

Oma's Visit!

We love it when Oma comes to visit. It's a vacation at home for us too! We eat, drink, and play all day long. Oma gives all her attention to the kids. From early morning till bedtime. She taught us how to play Dominoes, which we loved playing. And of course, we played Scrabble...she doesn't seem to mind losing.


playing Dice with Asher...looks intense!

we always have a puzzle going when Oma comes

the kids love, love, love Dutch pancakes....always a treat!

Too bad I don't have any pictures of Julianna and Oma. They played numerous games of Uno and Memory. Julianna kept saying, "I want Oma to stay forever!" Now that Oma's gone, she says, "I want to go to Oma's because she has winter!" She has only been to Oma's twice in her life, and she doesn't remember either time.

Thanks for coming Oma!
