Epcot Day3 in DisneyWorld~
Well these 3 don't look as tired as the rest of us did on day3! Although super pumped to check out Epcot, we needed an extra cup of coffee to get us movin' with how tired we were after 2 amazing days at Magic Kingdom. $8 for 2 cups of coffee was no bargain but worth every sip!!
The Epcot ball is so cool no matter the angle!

3 cute boys checking out the waterfall w booties in the air!
Once the park opened we went straight for the Test Track... lots of super cool cars to look at!

The best part was designing our own test car to see how it compared on 'the grid' to the prototypes we designed, concluding with a thrilling speed test! 
                                       

Boys had fun hopping in some sweet rides.

Micah's car he designed.  Boys did this one twice and had fun seeing whose cars were faster!
At the Mission:Space I sent the boys and Kyle on this thrill ride that sends you crashing into Mars. I thought I might get sick on this one because its a spinning ride, so Jake and I waited for them. They looked a bit dizzy coming out from exploring space!
We then headed to Ellen's Energy Adventure which was really cool because we got to see super huge Dinosaurs!
Caleb and Jake ran into Phineas and Ferb!
For most of our day we really enjoyed walking around and exploring the different countries together. Drew, Caleb, Jake, GG and Nana enjoyed a nice Mexican lunch in Mexico, and I found some amazing carmel corn recommended from the guy in the pic below with Kyle and Micah. It was the best treat from Werther's Original! I highly recommend trying it! 
Kyle and Micah enjoyed a yummy brat lunch in Germany! (do you see my carmel corn friend?) 

The weather was fantastic and it was a perfect day at Epcot together. This place is super neat.
So many Disney character gardens all over Epcot. These were so incredible and creative.
Lady and the Tramp!

We took the boys to the American Adventure show that was a 30 minute movie chronicling the past and America's future through film and music. Not a highlight for the boys, but really glad we did it. It was fun to listen to some beautiful singing too!
The 7 Dwarfs!!! These guys make me so HAPPY!


Peter Pan~Hook

Mickey Mouse!
In the afternoon we enjoyed the Spaceship Earth ride that goes inside the Epcot's big sphere. It was a slow-moving dark ride that depicted scenes of evolution of how humans communicate. This was really interesting. And one of the most well known attractions!
Turtle Talk with Crush 
The Seas with Nemo and Friends both rides were super cool with under water scenes and finding Nemo!


On our last afternoon in Disney, the boys and I kept eying the Mickey Mouse dilly bars, so we sat down for a special treat from Nana together. Such a great day exploring.
Best 4 boys EVER! Great attitudes and smiles all day!
Before our day ended at Epcot we went on the Living with the Land boat ride looking at future agriculture. It was really intriguing!
Finishing with one last family pic before we headed on the road back to Ft. Myers.
Our first family experience at DisneyWorld was Incredible and filled to the top with many memories together! Thankful for such a fun time!

Getting better and getting ready to go home!

Hey There! We thank all of you so much for all of your prayer support through this entire process. Go sure had His hand in this from the beginning. Anna and Micah are both doing just great. Yesterday was a hard day for Anna, She was very tired and had a hard time as the Doctors began to take her off of some of the pain meds she was not feeling good. She began to get a high temp,but that was all taken care of by early in the night and she slept great. She will be again trying to get of the IV pain meds and move to pills, if this goes well today we will be on our way home to see Drew tomorrow. Anna and I are both really loving the calm personality that God gave to little Micah as we know the high energy that Drew has waiting for us at home. We can't wait to see his little smile again and hear all of his animal noises and cars sounds. It will be so great to see the way that God grows these two boys only 17 months apart. It will be crazy and great all at the same time. Pray

Big Bro Twin Cities Champion/Little Sis Big Woods 1/2 Marathon Champion

Image
My brother and I are the crazy runners in our family! We took on the Twin Cities Marathon challenge on October 7th and trained like mad to get ready for the event. We began the morning feeling great and ready to take on the challenge before us, yet not knowing only one of us would finish. Ben was taking on his first marathon and was looking forward to finishing and enjoying this wild adventure! I however have done a few of these already and was aimed to kick some butt in the process. So, different goals, but the same idea in mind-lets run the race for Christ. The race did not go as planned for me. The weather was extremely hot and humid and it totally took over my body. All I can really remember is thinking, "Wow it is really hot and I am really sweating!" With little to drink I passed out at mile 10 of the marathon! My time at that point was 1 hour 7 minutes..... on track for an amazing marathon. Truly discouraged I attempted to get back in the race to pass out AGAIN at mil

Wolf River White Water Rafting Youth Trip!

Image
We were able to start the tradition of taking the International Falls youth to the great Wolf River. We took a great group of kids who did not know what to expect and drove the 10 hours to the river. We spend 2 days rafting and then hit the road for home. The students and leaders had a great time navigating the rapids themselves, flipping a boat or two and of course the water falls were a huge hit. U had the opportunity to sit down at the camp fire and one day in our boat with some of the students who do not regularly come to our ministry and talk about the relationship with Christ. These discussions where by far the highlight of my trip, getting to encourage students in their faith and hear the testimony about how they came to know the Lord was just awesome. Our first night it rained more than i have ever seen, and most of our tents stayed dry. But our two days on the river could not have been any better bright sun and 85 or so which is really hot for us from the far north. We had on
