Get Drenched 2012

This past Sunday was our church's annual baptism service - Get Drenched. It is pretty much my favorite service of the year. This year we went to Lynch Park to watch five people publicly proclaim what Jesus has done to change their lives.

The girls didn't quite understand everything that was going on, but I'm still glad they were able to see all that went on.

After the service we stayed for a picnic lunch, playground fun, and checked out a small garden area where we had quite a time trying to get pictures of the girls.

Jonathan took 17 pictures of us here in under a minute. After letting out a sigh on snap number 17 he said, "I think there should be a good one in there". Well, I can't pick one where everyone cooperated, but I sure found some fun ones.

Not sure what Sarah was up to, but she moved around the most.

I'm pretty sure a very loud shriek came with Lily's smile here.

The day started out a bit cool and cloudy, but ended up warm and sunny. It turned out to be a perfect day to watch people get drenched!

Beautiful Sunday!

This Sunday was such a beautiful day! The best part was spending it at the beach with our church, GENESIS, for our annual baptism service (we call it Get Drenched!). I've been talking about baptisms with Abigail all week and she, in turn, kept asking me when we were going to go to the baptism service. Needless to say, she was excited.

The girls were so well-behaved and sat through most of the service without making too much noise. Of course, it helped that the church floor was made of sand and they had buckets and shovels with them. We got to hear a number of people share their stories and then watched them as they were baptized in the Atlantic Ocean.

We stayed for a good 4 hours and all had a great time! I'm looking forward to next year!

Our Little Performers

On Sunday the girls got up on stage at church to share some of the worship songs they learned at GENESIS Kids. I was wondering if Sarah would even go up there, but she did. I was also happy to see Sarah participate a bit. All of the kids did a great job!
