Steve and I have been helping with the middle school youth group at church for 2 years now--can't believe it's been that long. Last Friday, was a middle school "A Walk Through the Woods" party. We took van loads of kids to someones house about an hour from Wichita. We had a bon-fire, roasted hot-dogs, drank hot chocolate, and then the kids could walk through the spooky forest. Then s'mores and going home. We decided we were going to take our kids with us to enjoy the fun. (Thank goodness Savannah's mom offered to take our little kids while we were at the church. She thought it was too cold for them outside. And, was she ever right! So, Paige went to play with Ethan and Brenda, Savannah's mom and we took the boys with us. Of course, Jaden wasn't going with anyone but mom.)
Here's Tyler roasting his own hot-dog in the fire. He thought that was fun.
And, then eating his hot-dog and Cheetos and don't forget his Sprite. Tyler is sitting next to Savannah, a 7th grader. She baby-sits for us sometimes. She LOVES the kids and always finds them at church to say hello. Tyler tried to stay as close to these girls as possible....ALL NIGHT LONG!
Here's Jaden with Kirsen Fisher. We love Kirsten. She is our favorite baby-sitter because she plays with the kids and then she cleans the house before we come home. Gotta love that. Our kids are lucky that all the middle school kids love them so much.
Here's us. It was cold out. We stayed by the fire most of the night, which made it bearable.
Tyler and Faith Denning, drinking hot chocolate. Tyler asked if we could make hot chocolate like this at home. (We made it last year and he didn't like it. Maybe in one year he has grown taste buds to like it?) Faith is in 2nd grade, but these 2 have so much fun playing together. Faith's mom, Shelly, is a YMT (youth group worker) with us. She is awesome and I love hanging out with her.
Tyler, Faith, and Jaden asleep on the way home. The Dennings and us took our own church van so we could leave the party early. We didn't think keeping our kids out until midnight, was wise. So, these 3 sat in the back row of the 15 passenger van and loved every minute of it. Aren't they so cute...asleep on each other. They had fun and obviously wore themselves out.
