Mega Bash and Mexico

Does anyone out there remember Country Fun Day? I thought a few of you might. Anyway, it has now been replaced by the Mega Bash, a night of wild jumping fun. The Academy does a fund raiser every year, the kids who sell twelve items or more get to go to the Mega Bash during school hours and then they open it in the evening to anyone who wants to come. My boys look forward to it from the beginning of the school year. Here are a few pictures for those of you who would like to know what you are missing.
Here is the ensemble of jump houses. Exciting huh!
Collin playing Basketball.
Harold and Dylan hanging out. Notice his Bomber jacket my Mom got him. His brothers keep trying to steal it.
Twila, this one is for you. Talitha and Alaina looking pretty. Congratulations to Alaina who won the regional spelling bee for her division and goes to state competition this weekend.

I spent this past weekend without my husband. Do I get any sympathy for that? Every few months Samaritan's Purse asks for special flights to deliver humanitarian supplies to Central America. They requested a special flight into Mexico to deliver water filtration systems to the region that has had the extensive flooding. You can see in the picture below where the river normally runs by the tree line. Everything around is covered.
The systems loaded and ready to go. They had to climb over them to get to the cockpit.
Unloading in Mexico.
Getting ready to come home. It was a privilege for Harold to take our neighbor John who was a missionary in Mexico for many years. Since they spent the night in town where they had no contacts, it was up to him to show them the ropes.
It was nice that SP footed the bill. As you can see from the picture of the hotel they were really suffering affliction on this trip.
The boys and I survived the weekend but we were very happy to have Daddy back on Sunday night. Thanks so much to those of you who keep us in your prayers when Harold is flying. You will never know how much it means to us.
