Weekend Fun

This weekend Christen and Rachel invited a lot of young kids their age (15& 16yrs) and their families to come to Oak Bar to be together!  It was a really great turn-out and such a fun and amazing bunch of young kids!!  Sunday we had over 70 people again at our house for meeting and it was super special!! 

After all the fun and crazy back and forth driving I've had in the past weeks, I am happy to be home today catching up on laundry! 

Friday night the families started showing up for a potluck dinner.

The attraction is the tire swing(s) which swing down by the edge of the river.

                                     Rachel has a follower named Bella. 

            The young kids gathering for a hymn sing on Friday evening.

              Notice Bella is telling someone to be quiet, maybe herself!

Saturday morning after our morning bible study the young kids all got together for a picture.  I was really bummed that I didn't get every one's faces!

Here are the family's pictures!  Don & Coleen were first.  Rachel is their oldest who helped Christen plan for the get-to-gather.

John and Tracy were next with their four children.  We had no problem identifying them with their parents!
