CHRISTMAS PARADE/TRIP

 What a night! Our church group enjoyed a trip to see the Garvan Woodland Garden Christmas lights on Tuesday night. We took 38 people and their ages ranged from 15 months to 90 years old. The children were amazed by the 2 million lights and the seniors enjoyed the lights as they traveled over the seventeen acre estate in their carts. We had a really fun group and decided that a white-water rafting trip would be our next adventure. We decided that we could handle it.  (just teasing...we did good to get in our carts.)

Tonight was so much fun! We had 35 children and adults ride on the Christmas float in the annual Christmas Parade. Lots of laughing, singing and good ole' fashion fun...reminds me of the Oak Ridge boys song "Thank God for Kids". The song says its seems the nearest thing to heaven is a child and nights like tonight sure seem perfect. We thank god for our kids!
