Fun Night ~ Fantastic

We moved to the school yard this year because of the forecast of thunderstorms, but we actually missed it all!!! Thank the Lord!

This is the Smiley Train that a dear friend of mine was the mastermind of engineering...(thanks George)...it was great to see the kids enjoying it and smiling as they went along the way. Even Nicole got to test it out...just to show you, I'm not the only big kid @ heart!!!!

Jaden really wants a dual wheel'd pedal tractor like this one...or so he said...

Jaden placed 2nd in the 7-8 year olds Pedal Power PULL!

FUN NIGHT 2009
With the support of Scranton Betterment, Scranton Businesses, and local support we are able to provide a totally FREE night of food, fun, and entertainment in our community. We had a songs from our local ' Neil Diamond', pedal power pull, a smiley train barrel ride, frozen t-shirt contest, tye dying, ice cream, bbq supper, bingo, inflatables, sidewalk games, cake decorating contest, local trivia, and a finale of port a potty racing. It was one of my favorite Fun Night yet! Thank you to EVERYONE who made this possible!!! It surely takes everyone doing thier piece of the action.

The amazing work of a friend, George. We have completed 3 of the 4.....here is
a photo of two of them. It has been a blast seeing the mastermind of creative ingenuity behind making these fun little barrels transform into an endless opportunity for smiles and giggles....just need to add the 'honky horns'.... : )

Our Harvest!!!

I never realized just how sweet the color red was....until I was able to make strawberry jam from my own strawberry bed this year! Finally, after 5 years....we were able to have a harvest of 10 pints and more in the refrigerator today! So, maybe we'll get a total of 16 pints and some in the freezer...yipee ~ Thank you God!
