Back to the Auditorium

 

We had a great morning back at our KidPak auditorium!  The offices aren't quite ready yet, but the kids could come in the auditorium, and that was great.  I had some animation created for backdrops, and we ordered these cookie costumes as we talked about Amos from the Old Testament.  Only, there was some confusion about Amos from the Bible and Amos, who has famous cookies.  The song was really fun and really catchy, and the kids were singing along with it - a lot of fun!  Also fun:  after our service, we actually gave all the kids a bag of Famous Amos cookies as they were leaving to go home!

Here are a few pictures that Mom took this morning - Maddie was at another church with Nate this morning.  But Mom did a good job with the camera as well as getting costumes together for everyone.

When we got home, we had some lunch and then watched the Braves do something great:  finish off the race for the division crown.  

They won against Houston again today, and in doing so, won the National League East Division, beating out the Marlins, the Nationals, the Mets, and of course the Phillies.  There are still six games left in the season, and then the post season begins.  Go Braves! 

Here's my first post card for the Niagara Falls path.  I was walking along today, watching Jacob the Carpetbagger and his vlog trip on both the Maid of the Mist and the Hornblower boats that both go past Niagara and into the midst of Horseshoe Falls.  A long time ago I did that.  I remember the thunder and noise of the waterfall.  We even rode over the waterfall in a helicopter.  My last trip to Niagara Falls was in the middle of winter when it was bitterly cold and there were these huge icicles hanging from the railings.  So cold!

Tonight's viewing was "Dead Man's Chest," per Maddie's request.  She's wanting to watch the original trilogy, so "At World' End" will be coming up soon too.  In the meantime, it was fun revisiting this one - a movie that's twenty years old now!  We were talking afterwards about that year-long wait to find out what happened to Jack Sparrow, and all the theories of what will happen next popping up on the internet.  

Anyway, what happened next here was that we read another few pages of the latest Discworld book - and then we said our prayers.  School is early tomorrow, so it's time for some sleep!
