Fun Stuff!

The last couple of weeks have been busy as usual, but some of our activities have been a little out of the ordinary.  Special, in fact.
During our revival, Dad wanted to do something special with the Durkee boys (their family were our evangelists), so he and Dan decided to take them to the Dayton Air and Space Museum.  They invited Ryan and Evan to go along.  After a short night's sleep Friday, they crawled out of bed unusually early on Saturday morning.  We have been to the museum many times on field trips, but it was lots of fun for them to go with Papa and the Durkees.  In the afternoon, after getting back to Lima, they hit the softball field with the guys for awhile, and got their first real "sun" of the season.  Always love to watch the freckles reappear. :)
They didn't take any pics, so here is one from the museum website.  If you've never been there, you should make a day trip this summer.  It would even be a fun thing to do during IHC.  The museum is free and the IMAX is only like $5.  The shows are great.

Due to some unusual circumstances, Rev. Paul Pierpoint spent a few days in Lima this past week. It was our privilege to take him out on Friday night for a Bob Evan's dinner, and then entertain him in our home after he preached on Sunday night.  He is such a funny guy, and had us cracking up.  Growing up in a parsonage, I had the honor of being with traveling evangelists quite frequently, but since leaving home, those opportunities are much more infrequent.  We were glad to have our kids spend a little time getting to know Bro. P., and look forward to having him back for revival in the fall!
