We met our assigned team and families....actually, the big kids met each other in the hall way before dinner....and they ran and played until dinner. They rode the little gondola ride over and over and over. It is about 5 minutes round trip and just runs down to a parking lot. The bottom is a grate, so you are looking straight down at the ground. They probably rode it over 15 times.....
Today we did a little retail therapy at a really nice mall in Denver....right next to where my brother and Holly live. And actually, my friends Melinda and James used to live right there too. Georgie and Taylor were excited about their J Crew bargains. I hit Forever 21 and Abercrombie for kids. It was a great little refresher before we head to the mountains for a month.
I am really excited about what this month will hold. If you could have seen Haddie's face as she went to bed tonight....she was grinning from ear to ear. Literally, she could not quit smiling. Aaaaahhhh.....It is just such a peaceful feeling to see my children so happy .... and to know that it is stemming from time at Crooked Creek Ranch.... sometimes it is hard to leave home....leaving behind friendships and relationships....missing out on Joni bringing home Tanya and Alex....missing out on our family vacation for the 2nd time...her smile and excitement just reminded me of ONE more reason why we want to be on assignment. My kids get to experience a place where kids meet Jesus.....where people love Jesus with everything they have....a place where lives are changed. I want them to see that...to fall in love with that....to want that in their own lives.
For ministry to be a very real and rich experience that they want to pursue for their own life...
