Commercials for SMAK

I am sorry to announce that our commercials we made at GATHER are having a hardtime downloading!!! My computer is not even seeing the device (the camcorder) when I plug it in!! I will continue to try but wanted to give you an updated status of why these are not posted yet :-(

Lake Fun with Family Field Trip!

This Texas heat is brutal!! However, the lake was a perfect way to spend the day.

A handful of families and several adorable kids made our way out to Lake Ray Roberts on Monday afternoon. We swam a lot, we made several small beach lakes in the sand (some even had there own "moats"), and even did some catfishing. It was an awesome time to be together!

Here are two pictures to share......... One of Gabe Turner with a cherry juice mouth playing a trick on his mom. He was pretending that he fell and busted his lip open! HAHA! The other picture is of the boys building miniature lakes in the sand.

A group photo will be posted soon, as that picture was on a different camera!

Family Field Trip CANCELED

Last Monday we had to call of our Family Field Trip to the water park due to thunderstorms. We tentatively rescheduled our trip for this Monday, July 6^th…. HOWEVER, due to many families being out of town for the holiday weekend, we did not have enough sign up to make for a group discount.

We will cancel this event and reschedule it for a later date in August.

Our next Family Field Trip will be July 13^th. We will be traveling to Lake Ray Roberts for a day of fun in the lake and sand!

Have a happy and safe Fourth of July!!!!
