Summer Fun
It’s been a busy few weeks around Mission 2540. We had a couple youth groups doing weeklong fun the week of June 11, another group last week, and one more this week. I figure I’d post a few pictures to show you all the fun we’ve been having. The week of June 11, my church’s […]
The Battle of Jericho
We’ve been studying the Old Testament during our Bible Studies at both NGV and Cy Creek this year. Last week, we discussed Joshua leading the Israelites into battle with Jericho, and the march around the wall. To reinact the story, we built walls using bricks made out of brown paper sacks stuffed with newspaper. It […]
How about a picture to start off the year?
I’ve been a bad blogger to start 2011. We’re off to a fun start on the year. I’ll have more to share next week, but I think I probably should post something. So here’s a great picture. It really made me laugh. We were playing with Play-Doh, and the boys decided to make mustaches. This […]
Sports and Art Camp
Paramount EXP put on an awesome sports and art camp for the Mission 2540 kids each evening Monday through Wednesday. They rented out the Travis Middle School gym, and we brought out around 35-40 kids each night for fun, games, crafts, food and devotionals. It was an awesome time. The kids really enjoyed it. Special […]
I’m loving the North Grand Villas
I’ve been too busy this summer to post much. But I just wanted to say how much fun the North Grand Villas has been this summer. There’s been a huge influx of immigrants from all over the world into NGV the last several months, and it makes things really interesting, to say the least. Below […]
Summer Fun
It’s been a while since I last posted, because we have been super busy! We’ve had a blast this summer already. A few highlights: There’s no better way to cool off than by throwing water balloons at each other. That’s what we’ve done on afternoons at both properties. The brave kids like to get the […]
A couple of cool pictures
The above picture makes me happy for a couple of reasons. One – because it’s nice and sunny outside so we’re able to get out and run and play and release that pent-up energy. Two – because the basketball court at Cypress Creek gives us a wide open, safe, place to run and play. It’s much […]
Fun in the snow
Cold weather and snow tend to shut down most of the activity at the North Grand Villas. As a result, Quinn and her brother Ben were the only two kids who trudged through the snow to come to our bible study yesterday. Ben and I decided we’d take advantage of the small crowd and all […]
Big Bad Wolf Tag
Yesterday at NGV, we played a great game called Big Bad Wolf Tag. The kids love it. It works like this: The person who is “It” is the Big Bad Wolf. He/she stands in the middle of the playing area with their back to the other kids. Everyone else lines up along a starting point. They yell, […]
