Summer Bucket List: Week 3

After two crazy weeks at home, the kids and I headed to the big city with JD and the preschool/children's team.

This fall, the preschool and children's ministries will be joining forces. Since they've already been doing a lot of stuff together for years now, there won't be very many differences at the beginning. One good thing about the combined planning has been the ability to evaluate what's been done in the past and tweak ministry to families in order to make disciples as we've been called to do.

One exciting change will occur next summer. Instead of having overnight camp like we did this summer, we will be having a day camp at the church which will allow for a broader range of ages and lower costs so that more kids can attend. We are super excited to be able to share Pine Cove with our friends here. We absolutely love what the camps are all about (Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!) and were thrilled to find out they have a traveling Base Camp. And they have agreed to come here next summer!!

Check it out!



In the big city we were able to see the camp first hand and ask questions in preparation for next year. After a few hours at camp, we headed for some post work fun at the Georgia Aquarium. We have always wanted to go and heard it is awesome. We were not disappointed!

We arrived and went to the Dolphin Tale show. It was cheesy but fun.


Max fell asleep as we pulled into the parking lot, but woke up just in time for the show.


Then we started our journey through the rest of the aquarium!


 Max's favorite was the "ray". They were huge. One measured 9 feet across.


The day we went was not crowded at all and we were able to sit and enjoy the 23' tall by 61' wide aquarium room. So peaceful and relaxing.

 Great weekend away with a great team!!
