Hi All!
Isn't that a great picture! This is at Storms in Burnet on our way to a camping trip over Spring Break. We went with some friends of ours and had a great time, although there were a few times we thought we might blow away. Camping in 30 mph winds was a new one to us!
We went camping on the south shore of Lake Buchanan. It was a stark reminder that we are still very much in a drought. It was quite a hike from where the water level should be and where is actually is. The kids did manage to get totally muddy and soaking wet however, so I would say we can count it as a successful lake trip :)
We took the family on a field trip to the Capitol for "Space Day". The Johnson Space Center had all kinds of activities and games for the kids and they had a great time. We also got to talk about Texas history and government, oh, and play with the cannon :) Caleb is launching a rocket he made...
Speaking of rockets, Caleb suprised Josh last week with a model rocket that he bought with his own money. He and Josh had been looking at them for quite some time and Caleb decided he would buy one for them to set off together. He is such a sweet kid. We met some friends at the park and had a great time trying out different engines and seeing how high they would go. I thought is was funny watching the adults run with the kids across the field to chase them down.
And last but certainly not least, the latest on our Haiti preparations! We sent our fundraising letters out a few weeks ago and have had a great response!
We are now at 52% of our goal! It has been such a blessing to have people give so generously to our mission. Our next big purchase is tickets to Haiti. We will hopefully be able to get them after our training at the end of April when all the details about dates are hammered out.
Can you believe it is April already?! No fooling here! Summer will be here before we know it!
Blessings,
Veronica (and the guys)
