Days 4-5

Sorry for not posting yesterday, we were so busy by the time we got to bed, I just forgot to post.

Monday started off beautiful. The youth were excited to get to their parks and get started. We had kids coming in to learn about Christ and had several who gave their heart to Him. After lunch they did some prayer walking and felt good about what they were doing in Jesus name.

Monday evening we went to Hammanasek Park and got to swim in the Atlantic Ocean. It was cold but the kids braved it and dove in....they even coaxed Bro. Jeff in with them! We had a picnic and devotion time under the trees in the park and it was cool, breezy, and nice. There were huge seagulls that the kids were feeding bread too, Analynn was the first to try it and they would swoop down and it scared her. She said that the "pelicans" were going to eat her! It was a beautiful place and we had a lot of fun and fellowship!

Today was forecast for rain....and it rained. We let the kids sleep in while we decided what to do. We went ahead and went out into the parks with tarps and tents. We had kids come out and we were glad that we decided to go ahead and come. Everyone was soaked and headed back to the hotel to change and head to lunch of Chicken and Dumplins. Something that we just don't fix or eat in July, but it was 65 degrees and raining, and it was perfect. We also had cupcake cake for Kayla's 18th birthday!

Speaking of birthdays, we have had a lot of them so far, Taylor was on Friday, Lane on Saturday, Sherry on Sunday, Kayla today, and Jeff on Monday! I wonder what the odds of that are?

Tonight we went to Friendship Baptist Church in Litchfield, CT. This is Bro. Jeff's former church. On the way we passed by the most photographed church in New England. It is beautiful! We were served dinner, played games and had devotion time. When we headed out it was really storming, but we got back to our hotel in one piece.

Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy some, but not in the morning, so hopefully we will have a drier day.
