And their leaders - Terri A.

Oh my darling, Oh my darling

January 28 Vail, CO

Prayer: snowball prayer

Activity: musical chairlift (instead of a circle, we'll make rows of 2 chairs like a ski lift)

Thanks: (to tune of Let It Snow) Well the food at our school is frightful, But at LOGOS it's delightful. Yeah there's nowhere we'd rather go, LOGOS YO! LOGOS YO! LOGOS YO!

January 14 Hawaii

Pastor Dick and Joyce Jebsen were a huge help to everyone as LOGOS visited Hawaii. They taught a traditional Hawaiian game during recreation, Tininkling Sticks.

and taught us Hawaiian words during dinner.

We called everyone to dinner using the Conch shell.

We had a special "Hula" prayer for our table grace.

Hawaiian shaved ice was our dessert.

Everyone enjoyed the simple Hawaiian game - Lummi Sticks - for a table activity.

January 7 Seattle, WA

We got into the alternative/Seattle vibe by practing Yoga during Recreation.

Our dining area was decorated to look like a Seattle coffeehouse, complete with dim lighting. We enjoyed flavored coffees (and hot cocoa!) with our meal which was . . . . of course! . . . . FISH!

Since Seattle is so rainy, our family activity was the Umbrella Game.

Can't really explain it or it would give it all away. . . . Guess you just HAD TO BE THERE!

Grace - to the tune of Johnny Appleseed

Oh, the Lord is good to me, and so I thank the Lord,
For giving me the things I need, the sun and the rain and the apple seed
The Lord's been good to me!

For every seed I sow, an apple tree will grow
And there will be apples there enough for the whole world to have
The Lord is good to me!

Oh, the Lord is good to me, and so I thank the Lord,
For giving me the things I need, the sun and the rain and the apple seed
The Lord's been good to me!
A-men, A-men, Amen Amen Amen, Ahhhhh -men!

Thanks to the cooks - to the tune of Johnny Appleseed

Ooooooooh, the Lord is good to me,
And so's the Kitchen Crew -

Oh thank you Kitchen crew!
Yum-yum, yum-yum, yum yum yum yum yum - Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm-yum!

Family Activity - Scavenger Hunt for the items for our
"Pic-a-nic" Baskets

We nearly had to call our "Smokey the Bear" because we were threatened by a real life forest fire! It turned out to be 40 candles on Scott Harrell's Birthday cake!
