I just got back from a mission trip to Philadelphia. It was a great trip! We spent every morning running a day camp. (The middle picture is from day camp...Jayden was my buddy all week!) In the afternoons we did different things like cooking for and serving at a soup kitchen, helping out at a retirement home, taking homeless people out for lunch and getting to know them, etc. It was an awesome experience! We also did different things at night. (including going out for ethnic food every night) On the way home we stopped at a surprise location which ended up being Cedar Point! The bottom picture is of me, Allie Mender, and Emily Ratliff (two of my best friends who also went on the trip.) (You can click on the pictures to make them bigger.)

Looks like another great VanDrunen Family Service Trip.

Also, nice work on bringing multicolor font to the blog.

Nicely done, Becky.

Sounds like a great trip. Was this your first service trip? Honduras was mine and I LOVED it.

I'll second alex's call on the multi colored font.
