We arrived home from AZ at 2:00 a.m. Monday morning, but things like laundry, grocery shopping, and school have prevented me from posting! Finally, I've managed to upload my pictures!
The airport in Tampa has this cool section for the kids to play. It was a good start to our trip.
The scenery was just beautiful in a dry and arid sort of way. We were somehow surprised to see these mountains. When you're thinking desert, you just don't think mountains!
The main job we had was to put these door hangers on doors in the neighborhoods that did not get a mailer about the church's launch. Did I mention that it was 105° outside? You can see how red Gerren's face is!
This is Chase with her best buddy Jamie in the middle (she's Jeremy, the pastor's, wife and right-hand "man"). On the left is Amanda, Jeremy's sister, from TX.
We bought all these little goodies from the Dollar Tree and wrapped them to keep Carys occupied. She didn't need them so much on the plane, but it did come in handy here at the restaurant.
Here we are trying to recuperate by having lunch at Red Robin on Saturday. In addition to our family and Jamie, there are Jeremy's dad, 2 sisters, stepdad and mom.
Jeremy and Jamie store a lot of the church stuff and have all other meetings, practices, etc. in their home. The electronic drums were set up from band practice, and Gerren had a blast playing them!
The church is renting the Bounce U once a month. It is just a couple doors down the plaza from the theatre where the adults meet. This is one of the activities there. We don't have anything like this near us. Gerren and Chase loved it!
Here we are in front of the theatre right after church and right before we left to go home. It was a tiring trip, but how awesome to be able to serve the Lord together as a family. We are so blessed!
