Time with Friends in the Rainforest at the Mall

Besides packing and checking things off our ever-growing "To-Do" list, these last weeks will be filling up with "for-the-last-time" things. Last week we met up with some individual supporters at the Mall of America for lunch at The Rainforest Cafe.


This restaurant is a favorite of our kids, due to the huge fish tanks, fake thunderstorm sounds, and dancing gorillas. Above - L to R: Marisa, Kayla, Jordan, & Ben (doing some type of Karate Kid stance...or maybe it's his dancing gorilla impression)


It's funny how one cartoon movie turns every

Paracanthurus hepatus into Dory

Amphiprion ocellaris into Nemo

Zanclus canescens into Gill

Kaylee loved her front row seat while she waited for her food.


We will miss these opportunities to fellowship with friends and supporters when we move to Texas at the end of the year.






While the wives were shopping, Kevin and I took the kids to the boats for two minutes of fun. What a rip-off...but memories our children and our families will always remember. Thanks for the fun.
