SUPERSTART

Reagan and I just got back from a wonderful trip to Indianapolis with our church's youth group. It was a christian retreat for 4th, 5th, and 6th graders to teach them and for them to have fun. I went with our youth minister and his wife to help chaparone. They are the best with the kids! It was a blast! We drove 4 1/2 hours to get there. The first day they had everyone sign up and divided us into "tribes" The theme was "ancient ruins of the ouibi tribe (who we be)" and we were the "powi" tribe. Each tribe was part of a competition. It was alot like survivor without the rats! lol They did a lesson on being yourself and being who God wants us to be. It was geared to their age and they did a wonderful job. They also had a christian rock singer named Yancy (http://www.yancynotnancy.com/) who was very "hip and cool" lol. We then had a pizza party that night and then headed back to the hotel. The next morning it started over again and then there was a break for play time at a local family fun center. Then we went back for the ending of the lesson. It was very inspiring to see children be excited about God.

Here is her music.. Album: Loud & Clear It is great for Reagan's age when the other teen role models are Britney Spears and Paris Hilton!
