Rail Road Museum

Today, 10 moms and 27 kids met at the Wilmington Rail Road Museum. Suzy suggested it and I'm so glad she did!! She called to reserve a spot for our group with a discount. Most everyone headed for the train/toy room as soon as they had paid. A few went to visit the caboose first and some even checked out the displays of old trains.
The kids were most impressed with the model trains set up and that they could push the buttons to make them go! There were a couple of train tables, lots of toys and even Thomas the Train movie showing on a television. The moms sat back and enjoyed watching all the kids have fun!
After awhile, we migrated to the caboose and engine to look around and take pictures. They could pull the rope to make the bell ring at the front of the engine! There was one boxcar attached and a sing that said "To the hobos." Inside were a few mannequins set up to look like hobos. A little odd, but very truthful.

Potential Picassos


This morning about six MOPS moms met me at church to help paint the backgrounds and signs for our upcoming Vacation Bible School. Ms. Lisa found some teenagers to help watch our children. Thanks so much, Ms Lisa. It was a nice break for us. We painted, visited, drank coffee and had lots of laughs. There is still some painting to do, but lunchtime and nap time came, so we thought we should get the kids home. Thanks to Cheryl, her husband, Matt, Jennifer, Suzie, Kristin and her son Tyler, Mollie, and my mom, Sue. We couldn't have done it without you ladies. Thanks for coming.

Beach Bodies...Here We Come


We had another Stroller Workout this (very hot) morning. And I have come to a conclusion, I think Keely is trying to kill us!! No, no, just kidding. We had a great workout with 4 moms and 7 kids in tow. We did a mile and a half of walking with circuit training along the way. After several bottles of water and lots of gasping for air, we were done in no time. Thanks Keely for getting us whipped into shape.

Wacky, Wet and Wild


Wednesday was our MOPS play date. Leslie agreed to be our host, very brave of her, don't you think? We had six moms and thirteen kids join us for the morning. A very hot morning by the way. There were several small pools, water toys, water tables with boats (that was a big hit with all the boys) and a sprinkler. What a great time we had of fellowship with the moms and the children. Thanks again, Leslie, you are such a blessing to us.

Are we there yet?


This is the question we ask (Sargent) Keely during our workouts. We are meeting regularly for our stroller workouts at Halyburton Park, and I can personally say it is making a difference. She has added some new and exciting circuits at our stops on our mile walk. We only had 4 women and 3 kids on Friday, but what a great time of fun, fellowship and fatigue! We are so thankful that the Lord connected us with Keely.
