Welcome to...

Outrigger Island!
Daddy and Corbin catching the waves!
JP the penguin came back this year to help us celebrate! Every evening we started off with a meal for the families.
All of the helpers got this wonderful lime green t-shirt...so we really got to stick out!
Me (emily) and Michelle at the registration table...ready for the 69 kids that came??? It was such a blessing to get all those kids! When we counted up all the kids we have in our elementary school, only about 30 of them didn't show up!!!



The kids really enjoyed the music at Worship Rally Lagoon...the kickoff to each evenings fun...led by Joel! They had a Bible lesson in the Beach Hut, Missions lesson on top of Lookout Mountain, made some really fun crafts in the Craft Cabana, and got wet with all the games!!!
We had the program on Friday night and it went really well! The kids did great! They all got the same lime green t-shirts...so our town will be lit up!!!
Corbin thought JP was pretty cool, but not cool enough to take a picture with him by himself.
Most of our decorations came from the school's prom this year! They had an island theme and so we snagged all their decorations and put our twist on them! The volcano was an idea Joel got...it was so much fun for the kids! It really smoked...when they sang loud enough!

We also did 2 missions projects throughout the week. One was to raise money to buy Bibles for 2 local mission churches. The boys went against the girls to raise the money and this year the boys won! Total they sent out 228 Bibles!!! The second was to bring in some items to send as gifts to people in Sudan and Pakistan. The response was overwhelming! God is SO GOOD!!!
