Was busy, Now Tired

Wow, the past three weeks have been a whirlwind of events. Starting before the church picnic; we worked a whole week cleaning house and doing yard work, not only for the picnic, but also before our friends from Texas came out. So here is a recap of whats been going on here.

April 8- Most Everything was ready for the picnic. Also, Steve Ringer and his family arrived here. (to film a video for http://indefenseofthefamily.com/index.html more about this farther down)

April 10- Our church picnic. But before, earlier in the morning some of us went to a community yard sale we always go to, that has about 200-300 yard sales. The biggest find was a Mini-14 for dad. Dad wasn't there, but I (and Emily R) found it(disputed as to who saw it first). I guess I was out of the truck before it had even come to a complete stop when we saw "Guns" leaning against a table.
The picnic was fun, (not as big as our last one in November) we had a baptism there as well and one boy was baptized. We also had another scavenger hunt, like last years. But this was was twice as long and twice as hard!! There was four teams like last time, my team had: Amanda L, Emily R, Gabriella H(sp?), Josh L, Jonathan Y, Zane K, and I'm tired, there was someone else I think.....
Anyways, our team did not win this time but came in a close second behind Lisa's team. They did have the best time, but that was disqualified because changes was made to their paper after it was turned in, so we then had the best time. Plus they had three more right then us. But it was really crazy, hard, and fun all at the same time. (had to do everything from singing Amazing Grace to pulling off Pastor's shoe to doing somersaults!)

So the biggest event that we did was film a video for Mr. Ringer. So we did get it all filmed and dad's still working on the post production. I will post some pictures of it but please look at http://indefenseofthefamily.com/video.html for more pictures and info regarding the video. Steve hopes to do a whole series and hopefully market it through several different avenues. It was a lot of work, and I even got to be in it a short time (Thanks again Mr. Ringer).

So while the R's were out we went to the zoo, went hiking with the L's and even got a lady mad at us for killing a rattler at the head of the trail. Also, We went shooting and Mr. R. gave me some very helpful insight pertaining to shooting, etc... Enjoyed it very much.

Today I slept in (the R's left Yesterday) and then also took a nap, which is very rare for me. But The past two weeks I always went to bed somewhere between 11pm-2am!!
So as I remember things I'll post them. I am also putting some pictures up right now in another post.
