Haven's School Fundraiser: Run for the Money--Thank you!

Thanks so much to all who donated to Haven's school fund raiser! He exceeded his goal and will wear all your names proudly on his shirt while he runs/walks/skips/hopefully-doesn't-trip next Wednesday. In fact he could keep wearing this shirt till he goes to college because I'm pretty sure it's big enough.

Hopefully the school reached their overall funding goal as well, but according to Nathaniel, whether they did or not, we are ignoring all future fundraisers this year.

Thanks again!

Gee Family Reunion Photos

Here are some photos from our Gee family reunion held in July. During the reunion we took a tour of the Sea of Galilee even though we were actually at Bear Lake. Having recently toured the Holy Land, Nathaniel's mom was stunned by how similar the real Sea of Galilee was to Bear Lake, so we just called it that for the sake of education and took a tour of the different sites from Jesus's life.

The kids enjoyed it, and if they had a choice between the real sea of Galilee and a shorter travel time, I think they would have chosen Bear Lake anyway. Now we're going to pick a spot in Boulder City to call Disneyland so they might finally stop asking to go there. (Our current answer has been, "Yes, in two years," and a few minutes later they ask if it has been two years yet. Hopefully their sense of time will improve before their missions for their companions' sake.)
