"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you face trials of many kinds, for you know the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you are complete, lacking nothing." -James 1:2-4

Wacky Saturday

We started our day going to our good friends' house so I could take a family picture of them with their dog, that was going to be put down later that day. She was around when we were in college and was just an overall great dog (see pic below). So when they came to put her down, I loaded the kids up (their 2 bits and my 2 girls) and we went to Sonic and the car wash.

We came back and Camden and Cohen played superheroes (see pic below) until we got ready to go see Madagascar 3 at the theater. When we got to the theater it was PACKED. After about 15 min of musical chairs and deciding which parent would sit with which kids, Jeremy found a row of 4 seats at the very top and two below. Alicia spent most of the movie sitting on the stairs, which she swore was comfortable.

After the movie, and only two trips to the bathroom and tons of snacks) the kids were wound up and there was Freedom Fest going on at the mall. There were jump houses galore and tents everywhere. (see picture below) The kids got to go inside a fire truck and shoot Daisy BB guns (see pictures below) A bunch of soldiers in uniform (granted they were Army, not Airforce,) were manning the stations and I got a little emotional.

We capped off the night with an entertaining dinner at Copelands with some other friends. Thanks to Taylor and Brittany for riding with us and making the trip very laughable with the girls!
