| Finished our time in NC with delightful friends at their amazing barn home. So glad we were there for church, singing, fellowship and even a showing of AGENDA 2! |
 |
| The more the merrier! Off to feed the fish! |
 |
| Crosby reading I Spy with Mr. Brown, a WWII hero and wonderful friend. |
 |
| This is THE best idea ever: A swing that swings through the living room and over the dining room table. Really! |
 |
| Loved our Sunday afternoon here catching up and relaxing. |
 |
| Ended up in TN for a happy Saturday working and singing at our friend's farm for the Arts & Ag Tour. This is one of the most beautiful, peaceful places around. :) |
 |
| Christian and crew keeping things in order. |
 |
| Still catching up at the end of the day! |
 |
| Recipe for...wild?! |
 |
| As we left TN we had the lovely surprise of meeting up with this happy family from church at Loves! They just bought a limousine for their 3 hour trek each way every Sunday from their home in AR. Littles and Charlie especially loved this. :) |
 |
| Oh so thrilled when we find happy playgrounds along the way to use up the ENERGY!! |
 |
| Getting Cassidy's ever faithful printing press rolling for Bible Bee! |
 |
| Charlie and Carver working hard on their Bible Bee study. |
 |
| Imagine the thrill of this rather large spider walking across the back up camera! |
 |
| Hauling stuff to little Post Offices all over the place. 'Tis what we do! |
 |
| Fiddle practice at the bleachers. This is so Lina. :) The park never sounded lovelier! |
 |
| One of the ways we attack ailments: charcoal water! |
 |
| Frank & Butter inspire the rest of us! Frank finished 200 pushups and Butter followed up with 130. Not bad for 7 and 8 years old. :) |
 |
| Such a blessing to drive through such picturesque farm country! |
 |
| Enjoyed a lovely Memorial Day cookout with this dear clan. |
 |
| Crosby assisting with a muffin project. |
 |
| We love people that let us learn from their work projects! |
 |
| Clean laundry! Count your many blessings! :) |
 |
| Yep. The clean laundry was...very short lived. :) |
 |
| We did NOT have the life skills to jump into the middle of this one. Ha! |
 |
| We definitely have a shameless sharing problem when it comes to adorable babies like this. :) |
 |
| Reconnected with the Odgaards, the inspiring couple who stood up for marriage in Iowa. They lost their beautiful wedding and floral business but the Lord has given them a new mission. We praise the Lord for faithful Christians like this!! |
 |
| The Leaning Tower of Chapman?! Our little family power walk was 5 miles! |
 |
| Found about 1 million tadpoles! Crosby filled her water bottle with them, Campbell had his baggie full of them, and this one was on the way from tadpole to frog in the frisbee! |
 |
| Everything black is tadpoles. Finally! Something moving faster than the Bowers brothers! |
 |
| Everyone but Mama thinks sardines are the ideal bus food. She prefers chocolate. :) |
 |
| And YAY! Her new walking record! 13 miles! This does not happen often but it's nice to know it could. :) |
 |
| A sweet couple in NE graciously made us this feast and delivered it to the bus. |
 |
| AGENDA 2 showing in beautiful 1927 theater. God was so good to answer our prayers about a projector glitch that had never happened before and seemed unfixable. Thank you, Lord!! |
 |
| It is a privilege to visit with so many different people! Praise the Lord for sending them to us!! |
 |
| Bible Bee time in Sioux Falls with Chap. Always fueled with cashews. :) |
 |
| Loved it! Found many rocks like this in a state park in IA. |
 |
| We average about 5 events per week.....thus a lot of our pictures look like this!? There are groups of people willing to stand for the truth everywhere. |
 |
| Badlands, SD on our way to Rapid City. Grand time climbing. And sweating! |
 |
| Just the sign to help ya relax! |
 |
| Did we mention climbing? And sweating?! |
 |
| The push-up saga continues! |
 |
| Refueling during a showing. :) |
 |
| Yet another life skill is.... use of available products! 2 hours before we were deep in the dirt at Badlands State Park. Spritz, spray and powder away! :) |
 |
| The booth crew. Love when it's long enough to fit almost everybody! |
 |
| Quick stop at Dinosaur Park...built in the 50's and overlooks Rapid City. |
 |
| Carolina. Breathing deeply. All by herself. :) |
 |
| Mt. Rushmore. Very fun. And with Cassidy, mostly recovered and always smiling! |
 |
| Plotting yet the next adventure. Or takeover. Or meal? |
 |
| We love the clouds out West! Praise the Lord for His marvelous creation and for giving us time to enjoy it! |
