Awana 2011

Madelyn receiving the yellow ribbon for completing her 3rd book in Cubbies.  She will move up to Sparks next year.

Lauren receiving her award for completing her first book in Truth and Training.  

Jillian completed her book as well, but she received her award earlier this year.  The kids attend AWANA every Wednesday night throughout the entire school year.  Its a huge commitment and they put lots of time in to studying and memorizing verses each and every week.  Its a gift to have all of these verses tucked away in their hearts and minds.  The Word of God is a priceless tool!   

Trout Fishing

We kicked off May by going fishing at the Hatchery here in Yankton.  They offered free fishing for trout in a stocked pond.   It's a great way to introduce kids to fishing as they are very likely to snag a fish!



According to the Park Rangers Lauren caught the biggest fish of the day.
