Crazy Zoo Fun

Stone and I headed to the zoo on Friday... it was finally a nice day and we had to check out the new children's zoo! We invited the Chans to join us and then as we were walking into the zoo we ran into Stone's school buddy Payton. The boys had a great time playing!

Hands up on the slide! Great fun!

Looking at all the big coi fish.
Time to hit the petting zoo area... they had to goats out and the boys enjoyed feeding and pettine them. So much fun!
After the children's zoo part we headed to see the new baby giraffe. She hung close to her momma... so cute and sweet!
It was a great zoo day and we look forward to many more sunny days so we can be outside!

Manna Bags

Tonight at Connection group John O. gave a lesson on Matthew 25 talking about how when we give food and drinks to the poor and needy we in turn are serving God. After the lesson all the children made Manna bags to give to those they see who are in need! It was a great lesson!

The kiddos filling their Manna Bags... meat, fruit cups, water, pudding, granola bars... all non-perishable and sure to be a blessing to someone!
The kids put a special note in the bag after they were filled!
Sydney wrote a very special message or her Manna bag..."Just remember God loves you for who you are... rich or poor"! The wisdom of a sweet child!
Stone and his Manna bag!
It is such a wonderful blessing to our family to be part of such a fabulous connection group!
