Time Capsule Opening. . . Drum Roll ^*^*^*^*^*^*

I told you we had a lot of celebrating to do for this Grad.  We celebrated yesterday to my Mom's and Sprat opened his time capsule that we sealed on his first birthday.  Lots of treasures were  found some worth a little dough and some just  very sentimental.  I think Sprat got a kick out of opening it and seeing everything we had put in it.  I know we all had fun watching him.  There were pieces of history enclosed with lots of pictures.  He had a C3PO pez dispenser still in its original packaging, pictures of the hubbs Dad from his service years and patches from his time on the police force.  Mint uncirculated coins from his year of birth, some Joe Camel advertisements from relatives that worked at RJR,  metal toy tractor from my hubbys youth, the cork from our bottle of Champagne from our "romantic" meal we had in the hospital right after we had Sprat, and all the cards from his first birthday and his infant Baptism.  So many memories. . .

Taking in all of the fun. . . 

I do not give a lot of parenting advice but this is and was a very cool idea and I am so glad we did it.  I highly recommend doing one for your little one if you have one.   Stay tuned, we have one more party before Sprat goes off to school. . . 

Mission Camp continues. . .

The kiddos are working on the Labyrinth during Mission camp this year.  Sprat is working in the morning and then going to football camp in the evening, then back to Church for the evening.  He is going to be so tired when all this settles down and so am I.  
They have created a time capsule for future  congregations.   The kids wrote a letter to the future congregation and the adults also wrote one.  They included several pictures of our youth  on a cell phone along with selfies of each  kid that was a part of this Mission camp.  It was then sealed under a concrete pad where our Labyrinth will be completed.  I get chills every time I think about this.  I am so excited that my kids could be a part of this.
