Venture Hike

These were taken by our friend Katie. Thank you Katie! (There are many more, but I haven't looked at the CD yet.)

Pageant

Naomi had a friend participate in a pageant for the school. Danielle did not win, but Naomi wanted her to have a tiara anyway. Here's a photo of the two of them after the show. (Naomi just had to wear her new leather jacket!)

Backpacking trip

Jonathan and Jon Paul left this morning for a backpacking trip with the Venture Crew. They will be walking along part of the Applachian Trail in northern Georgia.
There are about 20 adults and crew members going on the trip. They will return on Sunday.

So the girls and I went out to dinner tonight. Kinda like a "girls' night out".
