Kid Krusade @ Bay-Community

Chrissy and I took the kid's on a little road trip last week. Metro sent us to Daphne, Alabama for a Kid Krusade @ Bay-Community Church. Our primary reason for going was to observe how they did a community event of this nature. Our hotel was great... Ella loved running around the hotel. We only had one issue @ the hotel... they went overboard with the halloween decorations....also, upon our arrival there was a "electronic witch" standing @ the door. The witch was stirring a pot... fog was coming off of the pot. Ella was not the least bit scared of the witch.... she kept asking what it was. Finally she started calling it a scarecrow.... Chrissy and I were so glad b/c we really didn't want to teach Ella the word "witch". The reason being, Ella being only 2 loves new words and would say the word 500 times a day. For 3 days, Ella wanted to go to the lobby to see the "scarecrow" as she calls it....

The Kid Krusade was great... Ella loved the live and very loud music... She danced and was intrigued by all the action that was taking place on the stage. One of the highlights of the krusade was Ella winning the prize during a drawing. Ella won an art desk with painting supplies. The desk is awesome... me being an artist was thrilled that our little girl won such a creative gift! After winning the desk, my only thought was "How are we going to get this thing home?" .... Thankful we packed light and there was room. I will post pictures of the desk later on..... Ella has been putting it to good use.

Chrissy spent much of her time at the Krusade tending to Hudson's needs.




Toward the end of the nightly service, this is how Ella and I coped with her tired state of not being in bed.....
