Awana Olympics

Yesterday, we loaded up on a Bus and headed up to K-Town for AWANA olympics. It was an early start for us and a long ride, but you could feel the excitment in the air as you listented to the happy chatter of the kids on the bus. Jeff and I took turns holding and playing with Sarah. She did real well the whole trip!

I'm sure in the states Awana games require only a two hour committment, but for us, it was all day. Even preperations before that , turn in all passport information, car information so it is approved by the army base before hand. We knew we were in for an adventure! Once there, the teams were organized and final instructions were given.

Jacob did great, he was focused and really worked hard in all of his events. Here are some cool action shots of his competitions.

Anna was in her own world as well while Jacob was busy competing. She was busy playing with her friends. Later that day, she told me that this was the best field trip she had ever been on.

First place goes to... Black Forest Academy! Good job Jacob!

After a long morning of driving and afternoon of cheering, it was off to some good old yummy American food! What should it be, Burger King? Taco Bell? Baskin Robbins? We went for Taco Bell. It was like an oasis for us! We filled up on enough food to last us for a long time. I was even able to purchase a case of root beer. My dream one day is to shop at the store and get some more American supplies but we will see if that is to happen. I was just thrilled to get the root beer- pitiful I know, but a real treat for us! Sarah finally crashed on the bus and I think this picture says it all about our day.
