So, this is what we did on Saturday...

This past weekend was Leadership Training for Christ for Marcus and Cale.  The convention is in Indy so we can go down each day for the events the boys are in.  Cale did puppets on Friday night.  Andy said it went well and the audience liked it.  The boys got a silver for their performance.  I took Marcus and Cale down on Saturday morning for Bible bowl and Bible reading.  Turns out, Marcus and Cale were on the same Bible bowl team.
The team:  Autumn, Marcus, Cale and Dylan

You would think that, since the bowl was over the book of Luke, it would be easy.  Not so!  I think each of the team members pulled off a solid bronze for the event.  I was proctoring another group and knew most of the answers, but some of the questions were quite obscure.  

Then, it was time to get ready for Bible reading.  Shame on us for not practicing sooner.  The boys had to make some changes to their selections in order to make them fit into the 1-2 minute time limit (they were too short at first). 

Hard at work.

Bible reading went well.  There were probably 15 boys in the group and the went in order by age.  Cale was in the middle and Marcus went last.  I think the boys did very well and I'm glad they are agreeable to doing this event.

While I was with the boys, Andy got to take the other 4 kids to a musical production of the Three Little Pigs at the high school.  Ewan had wanted to go and if you got their early enough, you could sit in the "wolf pit" (they did) where you were guaranteed interaction with the Big, Bad Wolf (they threw confetti "water" on him).  Ewan, Liam and Kella enjoyed the performance and Andy walked about following Kinley in the halls and back of the auditorium.  

There was a place to make a wolf or pig nose.  Kella wore hers like this because then she "looked like a unicorn".

The weather was great that afternoon, and the kids played outside and jumped on the trampoline.  Then we ended the evening playing Ticket to Ride.
