2014 Level Up Party

After the 2nd service this morning, our church held its annual Level Up (Back to School) party for all of the kids.  They served hot dogs & ice cream and had lots of activities available for everyone.  

Cooper was in the mood to have his picture taken today ~ Reagan, not so much!

After all that fun in the sun, we put on our winter clothes and headed to the ice skating rink for a couple of hours.

Return of the Camper

The campers returned home early this evening from a fun-filled week of camp.  They rode back to the church on luxury buses, Reagan thought that was the coolest thing...ever!

Reagan had a great time and said she's ready to go back again! 

Last year, we picked the campers up at the camp.



Scenes From Camp

I'm lucky enough to have a friend "on the inside" at fpKids camp.  She sent me a couple of pictures of Reagan having fun on the slip-n-slide.

Sunday Worship

I was fortunate to participate in the kids' worship at our church this morning and watch Reagan lead the worship.

 

 Cooper was in the crowd, but left the dancing to Reagan!

 I'm so proud of Reagan for being involved in the worship team at church!  She does a great job!
