The Calvary Chapel Conference Center hosted its first ever 4th of July BBQ. It was a day of hot dogs, cotton candy, bounce houses, water slides, dunk tanks, live music, and even a pie-eating contest! It was open to the public and there were about 1,500 people on our gorgeous 47 acre property. It was awesome to see all of our staff come together to host this event. The mayor of Murrieta and the Chief of Police were there to give their testimonies and share the gospel. How amazing is that? They are both Christians and have a huge heart for the community. It was such a blessing to hear them speak.
We got to the conference center after naptime and jumped right into the fun. Of course, Travis volunteered to get in the dunk tank.
I had to dunk him. I even got to cut to the front of the line for this.
We got festive with my hair. This 'do is a 1940's style called "victory rolls". It was a little tricky to get the big curls just right, but it's a good thing I have a hairstylist available to me 24/7.
My sweet little man enjoying the festivities.
He is pointing at Lyla in the bounce house. Cody wasn't able to take part in all the activities like his big sis, but next year will be a different story.
Lyla did not hesitate to get right into her swimsuit to ride the water slide.
Then there was a pie-eating contest. Travis stepped right up to participate.
...and Lyla helped eat the apple pie right off his face.
He did pretty good! He did not place, but almost finished his pie. He had apple pie in his nose for the rest of the night.
Lyla thought it looked like so much fun that she decided to try it out too.
4th of July love.
God bless America! We love our country and enjoy any chance to celebrate this great nation. I love this quote from George Washington: "It is impossible to govern the nation without God and the bible". Well said by our first president! I hope you all had a fantastic 4th of July.
