Soap Suds and Braided Bungees

That sums up our party yesterday. We had another party with a purpose. The purpose was for my friend who is going on a mission trip to Canada. She thought that we were going to purchase some books for them to give out while they are there. However, we called her and informed her that we were going to pay off the trip for her. She was so grateful. She said that she and her husband knew that she should go on this trip over a year ago. They knew that the Lord would provide the money to go. He did just that by using our group.

We had so much fun, too! We had a slip and slide using a bunch of plastic and soap. It was huge and our backyard is on a hill. We had hay bales and a kiddie pool to stop everyone. It didn't always work, but it was a blast! We also added more bungee cords to our brake on the zipline. We braided three bungees together. We played so hard that later that evening, everyone was beat! I felt like a little kid who had been at the pool all day and had played my heart out.

We made so much food. Brock cooked a pork loin and a couple of chickens in his cajun microwave. Shannon (our former road manager) and Therron (one of the Superwow staffers) came in for the weekend. Brock grilled burgers for them on Saturday. I went a little overboard on the desserts. I made a peach cobbler, strawberry cake, and a chocolate cherry cake brownie suggested by Lucas for his birthday. They were all a big hit...especially the cherry one!
