Hello to all of you. We are writing to you after a fun filled day at Disney World in Orlando, Fl! We got to have a day off on Thursday and go to Disney. We met up with a guy who worked Public Relations at Disney who was so gracious to give us passes for the day. We started at Hollywood Studios and had a blast riding on the Tower of Terror, Rockin Roller Coaster, Toy Story Ride, Star Tours, and the Great Movie Ride. It was fun to hang out in Hollywood. Next the guys went over to the Animal Kingdom and the girls headed over to the Magic Kingdom. Shortly after, it rained, and rained, and then stormed, and then rained some more. However, we still had fun. The guys saw a Lion King show and it was spectacular. The girls got to ride some indoor rides as well as do some shopping in downtown Disney! We then met up at the Magic Kingdom and had some fun. It stopped raining so we got to ride Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain, and had a blast! The girls then went back to the van to call it a night and the guys decided to stay for the fireworks, then got to go on Space Mountain. This was definitely the high light of the day for the boys! All in all, it was a great day and we vastly enjoyed the day off as well as the free Disney Passes! Thanks to all who helped with that, it was a huge blessing.
Tonight, we drove to Central Florida Bible Camp in Eustis, Fl. This is the camp that Kristen grew up going to so it was a lot of fun for her to be back. She got to see a lot of her old friends and family and the rest of the group had the chance to meet lots of new, fun people! We got to sing a concert for all the camp in the evening and had a BLAST getting to do it. Camps are always way fun to sing at because the kids are always hyped up on sugar and super excited to be there. We had a really fun time and Kristen really enjoyed getting to see her old pals. Tomorrow we travel to Kristen's house in Ft. Lauderdale and then get to spend a few days in her neck of the woods. I'm sure we will have a great time.
That's it for now. Blessings to you all. Goodnight from Central Florida!

Funnest game EVER!
So when we were all in Tallahassee, the guys stayed at a guy's house from the church, Chris. Him and his son, Chase, love to play this game called Heroscape. Now this is, as best as I can summarize it, an interactive risk game, where the characters are actual game pieces, not just the normal little canon, infantry guy, or horse. The game has characters like archers, dragons, dragon killers, and like the occasional Marvel character. I got to use the Incredible Hulk!! Needless to say, this game was awesome! We had such a great time and stayed up probably way too late, but it was super fun. We want to personally thank Chris and his son Chase for teaching us the game and playing with us. It was quite the experience. Here are some pictures from the BATTLE!!




Us having the time of our LIVES!

Hey there from Tallahassee Florida!
Well, we have moved through the south all the way into Florida. We got to have a fun day in New Orleans on Saturday, checking out the French Quarter and getting to see the craziness of Bourbon Street. It was a fun opportunity as most of us had never been. Sunday morning we sang at a church in New Orleans and it was great. We got to sing praise team and then do a concert afterwards. Immediately following church, we had to high tail it out to Montgomery Alabama. It was a 4 1/2 drive, and we had about 5 hours to do it!! Needless to say, we made it safely there and had a lot of fun. We all got to meet some of Darnell's old friends, the Powell's. Grey Powell used to be Darnell's youth minister back in the day and so we got to have a lot of fun hanging out with him and his family. The boys stayed at his house and the girls stayed at a family's house from the Landmark Church of Christ in Montgomery. It was a fun night. Today we traveled to Tallahassee and got to sing at Meridian Woods Church of Christ. We had a good concert and enjoyed getting to fellowship with those at the church afterwards. We got to go to dinner with the minister, Chris, and his wife and son. It was quite the time! We are heading to the Orlando area tomorrow and will be in Florida for the rest of the week. We are looking forward to possibly heading to Disney World on Friday, which should be a nice break and a fun time for the group. That's it from our end. God Bless you all!
