peru mission trip

colin, mackenzie and i went to peru during spring break for a mission trip. due to their age, reese and jack were not allowed to go and so they stayed with their oma. the trip was fantastic and i would return in a heartbeat!

we performed a skit and presented the gospel at several different locations

including a catholic school.

the kids loved mackenzie!

we crammed into busses, vans, and mototaxis to get where we needed to go.

one day we went to a beach that only the locals know about.

we found a swimming area

and it had a spot to jump of the rocks

the scenery was stunning

although you can't see it from this distance, there was a bunch of trash in the water. the trash was abundant in peru, but the trash cans were few and far between.

colin fell in love with this little beauty...she went right to him.

lovely photo bomb...it made me laugh

we prayed for people and passed out Bibles and tracts everywhere we went

lauren took us to a market so we could sample some local fruits

this is a local water park that was really fun

several of us bought some colorful pants!

here's the group! we were so blessed to be able to go!

tennis

mackenzie decided she would try out for tennis this year and she made the varsity team. she played in the district tennis tournament at tarleton university last week and i finally seized the opportunity to take a few action shots of her.

she played in the girls' doubles division

they did not advance to the finals, but she played well and it was a fun experience for her.

gotta finish the month of february

the last week of february was a bit hectic, but don't worry i'm about to sum it up for you.

mackenzie entered some photos in the county fair...and she placed in almost every category she entered.

here's a pic of those that placed

later in the week, colin and i went to austin to see a cirque de soleil show. the weather was so nice that we went running the next day in a beautiful park
