Home Stretch Week!

Our LAST week of Agenda events!! Sang and spoke in East and West Florida, dodged the hurricane (PTL!), visited family and friends during the daytime, packed and shipped and tried to juggle all the other happy (!) things bus life entails. :)

We may be slightly biased but they are adorable!
Especially when they hold still and smile all at once. 
Crosby has worn her favorite dress to every event since September. :)

Singing at our grandparents church in Florida.
First time we included "Edelweiss/ThankYou Lord" as one of our songs for a Sunday Service. :)

Wild conversations abound! We are thankful for the humor shared by so many fun people! 
Thinking this guy was offering to buy the bus. Good thing Mama was with the littles somewhere or she might have just given him the keys!

Early 51st Birthday party for Daddy with the Florida family!

The art of slow motion boxing. An absolute MUST for any Bowers Grandson! :)

The papparazzi in full swing! Really now! 
How many phones do you men need to capture the moment?!?!

Christian's lizard. Apparently his kind intentions were not mutual. :)

Playing a few of our favorite things!

Loved our time catching up with this sweet family!

WHAT state did y'all lose your manners in? 
How hungry Bowers boys deal with totally delicious ice-cream. :)

Fishing time in the backyard!

Beautiful sunset & happy fellowship.

Packed week with a variety of churches, conservative groups, Tea Parties and conferences.

 30 minute stop at the beach to collect a little sand for the bus. :)

Absolutely thrilling. HA!
Comments shall be withheld because of our mixed and/or related audience.

AMAZING time at an all black church in inner city Orlando. Something about following their rip roaring hallelujah gospel song time prompted Daddy to mention that no matter how hard we try, we will never quite have all THAT! Thankfully they thought it was as funny as we did! :)

Truly one of our favorite churches so far. We were so encouraged by the enthusiasm, authenticity and faithfulness of these Christians! And the next day, Hurricane Matthew (that was supposed to hit right there) did not! 
Praise the Lord. 

Blessed to spend time with our friend Art Ally who kindly set up many of our FL events.

One fine morning we woke up and were finally COLD! Hallelujah! :)

Early morning conference essentials. First song was a 7:50am. YIKES! 

"Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 
For they shall soon be cut down like grass, and wither as the green herb." Psalm 37:1-2

When all else fails in the graphics and marketing department, try red napkins. :)

Oh boy.You never know who you'll meet when you leave the bus!
Sometimes they let you try the helmet...

...and sometimes you get the whole bike. 

Coloring & cursive practice in the lobby.

"But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them...and save them, because they trust in Him." Psalm 37:39-40

Crockett building his indian empire one little, two little, three little indians at a time. 

 If you know these two you appreciate the beauty of these moments of peace!

And the big question looms! WHERE do the Bowers go from here?!
Ahhhh! To be continued....
