Bullhead City, Az

On Saturday we went to Bullhead City, Arizona to help the local church evangelize. We met at their church for prayer then we went door knocking. It was extremely hot! The kids and I only helped out at one apartment complex. After that we sat in the air conditioned car while Frank knocked on doors.

When that was done we met the other groups at the Colorado River. That's right- playing in the river was part of the outreach! We briefly stopped at the park, but it was too hot even in the shade!

The church had a pavilion set up, with music, testimonies, a raffle, and free food. They even had some people boat preaching! Instead of street preaching they were preaching from a boat. We all enjoyed the water.

Home Bible Study

Our weekly Home Bible Study is still going strong. We had 12 people last week. We've had new visitors for the past few weeks. Last night we had 13 people and 4 people from the previous week were missing.

Vacation Bible School

 

 

I grew up going to Vacation Bible School. I loved Vacation Bible School. Our church doesn't offer Vacation Bible School so this year we took the kids to a local Baptist church for VBS. Because of our schedule we were only able to take them two nights. However, they had so much fun those two nights. They are already begging to go back next year.

Mexican Bakery

Before Alex's Martial Arts classes we stopped at a Mexican bakery and ate at a picnic table behind the recreation center. It was a nice change of pace for us.

Wetlands Park Playground

For family day we took the Park Challenge and went to a play ground that I recently noticed. I was surprised that it is part of the Wetlands Park.

 

Of course, the kids had fun.

Concert at the Park

Our church had a free concert at Paradise Park.

 

 

 

 

The kids had a great time playing then we listened to some good music. Alex was impressed with the trumpet player.

Cat's Breakfast

This is why the kids are supposed to clear the table after they eat.

You're looking a little guilty there, Mr. Cow.

Harmony Park

Our church has a monthly potluck fellowship that is usually at a park. The kids brought their scooters this time.

The group behind Alex is the church.

Free family Fun

For Family day we took the kids to some events at some local stores.

 

 

Family Christian Bookstore had a premiere of the new Veggie Tales movie, McLarry and the Stinky Cheese Battle. The kids got a coloring sheet, stickers, and a poster.

Then we took them to Toys R Us for a Lego Legends of Chima event. They got a free Lego set and got to play with Lego.

 

 

After Sabrina got her free Lego set she got bored so we walked to see other things. She has been trying to talk me into buying her a car for about a year.

 

Both events were free and the kids got goodies at both.

Lake Mead

Frank works at a fun workplace. For employee enrichment they went boating at Lake Mead! They got paid to spend a Friday lounging around at the lake. A good time was had by all.

Morrell Park

The kids love parks. They always have a whole lot of fun at the many parks we visit. Our trip to Morrell Park was no exception.

Family Time

We had a fun family day. We went to Toys R Us to let the kids look.

 

 

Then we went to Jason's Deli for supper. It was a lot of fun.

Clark County Library

I took the kids to Clark County Library for a play. Unfortunately, I got the time mixed up and we missed the play. The kids didn't mind too much. We had never been to Clark County Library, which is a bigger branch than the one we go to.

 

 

 

They had a play kitchen with lots of food, a puppet stage, and Legos.

 

 

We ended up staying for quite a while and having a really good time.

Game Night

Game night has become a staple in our house. We don't have a game night every week, like we originally planned, but we do have game night quite often. We have a closet full of games, but the kids normally pick the same ones over and over- and that's okay.
