Fun in Florida!

Every four years, Young Life gathers for an All Staff Conference in Orlando. All staff, spouses and young babies get to attend. So, we set out for another adventure with our little man. It was so good to be in warm weather and so good to see all of our dear friends from Young Life! As always, our time there was amazing and encouraging. It is good to know that there are thousands of folks serving alongside us in the mission - they understand our efforts, hopes and even our frustrations. It was so good to see some of my old staff friends from Houston as well. As always, the leaders in Young Life were full of surprises. There was a Jars of Clay concert and a Nicole C. Mullens concert. Not only that, but Jeff Foxworthy joined us for the fun. His wife became a Christian through Young Life and he is a volunteer Wyldlife leader in his hometown. He was hilarious. Also, Jack Hanna came and brought some of his animal friends. That show was pretty funny as well. In the midst of gathering as a staff, we were able to spend some time by the pool and spend a day at Disneyworld. We were "that couple" with the baby at Disneyworld. Sawyer slept half the time and was clueless about where we were. But, later on when he asks if we can go there, we will tell him, "Sawyer, you have already been to Disneyworld. I can't believe you don't remember. It was fun!" This was my third All Staff Conference - time flies. We both look forward to gathering with our brothers and sisters in four more years. What a sweet time.
Sawyer was fortunate enough to have his own seat on the plane - lucky for us as well. He was awesome!
Jeff Foxworthy - live!

Sawyer spent a lot of time crawling around the "clean" hotel room floor. Nice.
Sawyer at Disneyworld - we have proof in case he asks!
