Slammin' Saturday

This past Saturday 5/15 was so busy, I don't know where to begin. Hmmm...let's see. I'll start at 7am, the time I woke up. The first hour was ironing, making breakfast and lunch and sending my hubby out the door to work. I then turned my attention to getting the kids ready and out the door. By 8:30am we were on our way to help an elderly man we know get himself and his boxes of belongings to a community tag sale. After we had him set up and settled, we headed to the church for a day of fun. All three of my babies completed the requirements for the Gold Level in Olympian group. For anyone who is not familiar with Olympians, it is the name of the program we use for our youth group on Thursdays. The children have a quiet time they must keep up with, as well as a book report, memory verses, and Christian Service Assignments. Our treat for the children who made level was a day with 3 different bounce houses and slide.





Some of the leaders had the privilege of nailing some kids with water balloons via a sling shot. I'm not sure who enjoyed it more...the grownups.....


or the kids.



Tug of war was also a big hit. We played children.....



versus leaders...........

The kids did a scavenger hunt and completed the day with a goodie bag.


After our fun was over, we grabbed a quick bite to eat and headed back to re-pack our elderly friend and bring him back home. On the way we spotted a sign for 'Farm Day' and decided to stop by.

The kids enjoyed the animals and demonstrations. They especially liked the weapons demonstrations and spent about an hour shooting bows and other weapons.



How's that for a fun filled Saturday?
