We played with catfish
We raced sailboats
We didn't listen very well to "Please DO NOT get wet"
We got to fish for catfish...
And got wet some more....
We got them to stop for just a minute for a quick photo
We learned how exercising is important and rode a bike with a skeleton (far right corner). He was a little creepy but very interesting.
We got to put on construction clothes and play....
This is priceless! My child the pimp! They had a stage where you could dress up and put on a show. This is what the kids chose to put on.
We got to dance.....Colby has some serious white boy moves. He gets that honest. Ever seen his daddy dance???
They got to dance again to a song of their choice and be filmed why doing it. This took alot of coaxing but they finally agreed to do it.
The spiral art was very neat. I can remember having one of these as a kid.
We dug for dinosaur bones.... the kids all thought this was very neat. Melanie and I had to take part in this our self. Very fun!
Best friends!
Our group before leaving. They were tired and hungry. We then fought the most crowded Chick fil A known to man to eat lunch but it all worked out just fine. These kids aren't just our churches future, they are our present. We take great strides in making sure the word of God is planted like a seed in these tiny minds. Colby recited me the first verse of the Bible the other day and told me exactly which book it came from. He remembers each story he is told in Sunday School and his growing with God classes. I am so thankful for the wonderful people who sacrifice their time and energy in working with our children. It takes alot of patience and love to work with preschoolers.
After the long drive back full of " I gotta use the potty" and "he has the toy I want" and "Are we almost home yet".... we finally arrived. Mommy needed a night out! Jason took Colby to a motocross Arena race (which he didn't mind at all as you can imagine) and I went out for some G rated fun with two of my dearest friends. This is what fun at 30 looks like!
We went to Rocket City Diner to eat and we had a blast. Melanie D had the bright idea to take these photos. We felt like dorks but hey we made a memory right....
We also went bowling. This was so much fun.
The very one who swore she sucked at bowling beat us! She has mad bowling skills...
A little fun at the arcade before leaving. We couldn't manage to get a good pic of all three of us but we had a great night. We stopped at the twist and taste on the way home for ice cream. I highly recommend it if you have not been yet. Lots of laughs were had and fun memories made. I am so lucky to work with people I also consider the best of friends. We may not always get along and have to come Jesus every once in a while but we love each other very much. I look forward to the laughs we have every day at work.
So far this year has been a pleasant one! The weather has been very odd for January but I have actually enjoyed the spring like weather. My power bill will love it too. We spent Thursday afternoon in the doctor with Colby with a severe case of pink eye in both eyes. I can remember having it as a kid and remember how bad it hurt. I tried very carefully to wash my hands after touching him but if you know me at all you know keeping my fingers out of my eyes is somewhere near impossible. So of course I ended up with it too. We are spending the day today taking it easy and hoping to be in the clear to go to church tomorrow. Heavens knows Colby needs to interact with people his own age after 3 days with just me and Jason. As do I........
