The Bubble Room!

Mom and Dad last ate at the Bubble Room when they were on their honeymoon! The parking lot was tiny, the food was great, and we had so much fun!
I love the colors of the fence!

The Beach!

While we were on our trip we were able to stop a quite a few beaches, here are some shots!

Feed My Starving Children


Nappanee Missionary Church held a program called Feed My Starving Children. An organization that provides meals for millions of starving children in 60 different countries. They travel around to different churches making meals for these kids. The picture above is of all the volunteers. In less than 24 hours we made over 300,000 meals, which provides around 830 kids with 1 meal a day for a year! And that is only one church!!! The meal packets contain chicken powder, vegetables, soy, and rice. We were on the last shift of the two days. It was so amazing to see and be a part of all that!
Here is a blurry picture of me and my friend weighing the food packets.
And here is Ike measuring the Rice and Soy.

Interesting Fact: It only costs $0.19 for a meal through Feed My Starving Children.

Field Day!!!

The Annual Home-schoolers Field Day was held Saturday and this was our 3rd year to go. It was FREEZING cold out!!!! My friend and I walked around huddled under a blanket all morning, it was so cold!
Here's Maggie running one of her races!
The first year we did field day, Ike and I won the 3-legged race by far. Then the 2nd year, our friends beat us, so this year was the tie-breaker. This picture is of Ike and I WINNING...right before we fell. Oh-well.
The last event of the day is always tug-o-war! Here is the younger girls against the younger boys! The girls won!!! Although they did have 11 year olds whereas the boys only went up to 10 year olds.
And here's the older girls and some Mom's against the older boys...can you guess who won???

Johnny Appleseed Festival

This is the first time in a couple years that we have been able to go to the Johnny Appleseed Festival, they have all sorts of artisans, singing, merchandise, and all kinds of stuff! It was so much fun! This year Ben was working for some vender friends at a small convention so he didn't get to come but we took their youngest three kids with us for the day.
Taking a rest while Dad went back to the van to get lunch.
One of the first booths we stopped at was the broom makers. And he let us make two brushes for free!
Here's Abe working on it and pulling really hard!
