Each year, we are blessed by a family here in the colony that chooses a special day to come and celebrate what God is doing in the lives of our children. Yesterday, they literally transformed CLM into a carnival! For about 8 hours, the kids played on a huge inflatable slide, jumped on trampolines, and took turns trying to ride a mechanical bull. The family also prepared a delicious meal of chicken, pork, and beef so it didn't take much to convince our kids to take a short break for lunch. However, as soon as we were done eating, they were all begging to go back to play some more. Throughout the afternoon, there was cotton candy, popsicles and lollipops...that kept them going full-throttle until dark when we dragged them inside for baths! Check out our flickr page for more fun pictures! We praise God for the generosity of this family, as well as His constant provision and blessing.

How generous! Wow! I'm wondering if that is the same family who did a fun day for them when we were there last March? Sounds like a great day!!!
