Well folks - we are certainly staying busy!
Yesterday we toured Father Serra's favorite mission... this is where he chose to spend most of his time and in fact died and is buried here. It was spectacular- the view of Carmel was breathtaking. Listening to our lessons under God's beautiful vistas with no humidity & no bugs sure makes it easy to hear the message! Yesterday, Patrick spoke to the kids of their roles as part of the body of Christ and then we explored how we perceived each others fruits of the spirit. What a great experience.
We then went to Carmel and Monterey Bay. The kids all loved Carmel - what's not to love??? The kids actually found some girls playing beach volleyball - needless to say there were some very funny comments from this!
On to Monterey Bay, Patrick took all the kids to blacklight mini golf!!! Ann Katherine said it was both "ghetto and fun"! Patrick concurred! We saw sea otters, sea lions and lots of birds playing in the bay. No time to relax...on to dinner. In-and-Out Burgers - yep - more yummy burgers!
We finished out our day at the movies! We saw Angels and Demons - - - so much fun in one day!
Our evening tuck in with the kids was more fun than usual because we had treats for them! Jean Hall and Lisa Smith sent a HUGE care package so as we tucked them in everyone had yummy homemade treats. Thanks Jean and Lisa!
Today we are heading to San Francisco and a soup kitchen! Tomorrow's post should be interesting.
I heard you all are hot in Atlanta - we have been just a little chilly almost every day!
Peace - Karen

I love sea otters and sea lions....amazing to think about up close and personal in nature vs. in a zoo. Thanks for taking such great care of everyone, chaperones. Love the info and pictures. Can't wait to see everyone's smiling (and tired) faces Saturday morning. Blessings, Melinda
