Wow it's been a while since I have updated this so I will try to hit all the highlights in the last few weeks!
1. Spring Hill Day Camp--I helped with Spring Hill Day Camp at Community in August. It was a great week of rock climbing, Euro-Bungee, Tie Dye, Songs, Water Slides, Friends and Fun. My job was primarily to help with activities that required the kids to put on harnesses (rock climbing, ladder climbing, flying squirrel...etc). It was so cool to see the kids overcome their fears and reach beyond there comfort zone. I really enjoyed this part at Noah's Ark too. The first day of Camp the weather was not great, rainy and cool. One of the kids that Community sponsored, that I helped to get there comes running from his classroom after this day and say "That was the BEST day of my life!" Later in the week, one of the Kid's Hope mentors who made sure the kids had rides each day said she was loving the conversations that were happening to and from camp. Thursday afternoon after camp the kids were talking and one said "I have learned so much about Jesus that I never knew before." Precious! Great Week!
2. Peach Picking--We took Jackie and Grace peach picking at Crane's! Jackie had a riot playing hide and seek amongst the trees and trying to find the biggest peaches. And they were big, softball size!
3. Back to School Night--We had a back to school night last week for Belay. So many of you donated school supplies and backpacks for us to hand out, and let me tell you it was a big hit, so THANK YOU! The kids loved playing in the bounce house and getting their caricatures done (thanks Tara Meeeuwsen for that). They were so grateful to have backpacks and I think even a little excited about going back to school. I am excited for our after school programming to start again soon and see them all on a regular basis again!

4. Tiger Game--My dad and I went to the Tiger game last Thursday. What a game, after being behind the whole game, the Tigers came back and thanks to a Torii Hunter walkoff home run they won the game! (27 outs in a game, no quitting til it's over...right Luke :) Kurt had a great object lesson going with Luke that game!)
5. Cottage--From the game we went right to the Cottage and took Grandpa's boat out and the dock out. Not the most fun job in the world, but we know he appreciates it!
6. Labor Day-- We hung out at Abby's house for the day. The weather wasn't the greatest, but we still had fun tie dying shirts, playing with the kids and eating great food. Thanks Abby!
