And our busy Saturday continued... after we were done with our mission projects our family loaded a charter bus along with several other children and chaperones and headed to Greenville, SC for the night. About three years ago our children's choir director started a sort of exchange program with First Baptist Greenville's childrens' choir where we take turns visiting each other's church and sing together in the worship service. This year it was our turn to visit them! This program is only for the kids in 3rd, 4th and 5th grades, so this was Mitchell's second trip to Greenville to sing. It is an exciting time for the kids... they get to make new friends, remember old friends from the year before, and stay in a hotel (which for some reason is extremely exciting for all children)! After rehearsing together, we all had a pizza dinner together and played some games. Then after a final rehearsal of the night we got to go ice skating! Since there is not an ice skating rink in Athens, our kids especially enjoyed this wonderful treat! After cold hands and many falls and bruises later, we headed back to the hotel for the night... I think that we finally got all of the kids in bed at around 11:30pm! The next morning the kids sang at both of the church services, with a delicious doughnut breakfast in between! After saying a lot of goodbyes, exchanging email addresses and webkinz names, we loaded the bus once again and headed back to Athens. What a great weekend!
Just a little update on the current weekend (since I am only a week late posting all of this)... this weekend was a LOT more relaxing! With all of the cold temperatures, snow flurries, and lots of wind, all baseball and softball practices were cancelled, so we truly got to just RELAX!!
