So the Martin family went to Niagara Falls June 2nd-4th. It was our mini-family vacation which followed Annual Conference. If you are unfamiliar, Annual Conference is a yearly meeting where each church/charge from within our Conference (the Wyoming Conference) sends their pastor as well as at least one lay person for a weekend filled with meetings, worship, legislation, fellowship, spiritual workshops, and much more. This time of conferencing with other area United Methodists also proves to be a good time to learn more about the nature and direction of our greater church. Annual Conference is open to all, and each church can even send youth and young adults for a reduced price of only $10 (room and board included). For the youth there are several fun activities planned including parties, concerts, and dancing..jpg)
Enough of Annual Conference Commercials, back to our family vacation, where we saw the mighty waterfalls, rode the Maid of the Mist (where both girls spent the whole time crying) and got soaked, went to Canada, and even had a Jacuzzi in our hotel room!
We had a great time, and hope next time to actually bring proper identification for ourselves and the girls (ie birth certificates/passports) so the Canadian authorities don't threaten to take our children away from us! If you are curious, just ask, we'll be glad to tell you the wonderfully entertaining story, although at the time it was truly terrifying. Other than that minor mishap, our vacation was great, and was filled with many fun memories and great photo opportunities!
Great pics!
ReplyDeleteLoved your Sunday topic!
Mine was supposed to be God our Redeemer, which inadvertantly it stayed. However, I used an illustration that came to me on Sunday morning called "The Tale of Two Dads" (my title and illustration). I think it went well. If you want to know more - call! Love, Mom
