Garden Party..

Our journey in the Book of Mark has come to a conclusion. We spent 2 years studying, learning and applying. Through this wonderful gospel, Mark put us on the scene providing incredible snapshots of the life, ministry and the purpose of Jesus Christ.

It is fitting to end the book with a garden party, and we did after the bible study - good thing, it is my birthday as well... so yeah - I had a big party that day!

Snake Party!

CB's classmate Kazidy had a snake birthday party. The kids were able to hold 10 differrent kinds of snake from smallest to the largest ... well, the largest sssnake had a bad day so the handler decided not to take it out from her container....

Cowboys at work!

A cowboy is someone who works on a ranch handling cattle and horses. Cowboys are most closely associated with the American West. Cowboys drove cattle across the massive grazing grounds of the West. It's hard work...
