Fun Not Deterred by Rain

It's that time of year again when we feel really appreciated for our work. Funworks always goes out of their way to invite all local pastors and their families for a day of free fun. We were really looking forward to this day, but the typhoon-like storm that has moved through our area had Funworks looking like this today:

So, no go-karts, no mini-golf, no bumper boats, no corn maze. Funworks still loves us, though! They gave us passes to use on another, sunnier, day and several bags of tokens to use for some indoor fun. We love you too, Funworks!

We had arranged to meet fellow-pastor Lloyd and his family for some Pastor Appreciation Day fun at Funworks. And even though we were confined to the indoors, we still had such a good time!

The kids loved the giant play structure with ball pits, ladders, shaky bridges, tunnels and giant twisty slides.

Ella led me though a mile-long maze of tunnels as we climbed our way to a slide that felt like it started on the ceiling. Here we are about to go screaming down.

Delia and little Kathryn climbed the smaller playgrounds together. Delia always surprises me by being pretty scared of big, colorful play things. She didn't want to get anywhere near this one. Hmmm, thought climbing was her thing.

After spending a few tokens to bop alligator heads, ride motorcycles and roll skeeballs, we used our free rides on the crazy bumper cars. The rain and wind really kept people away so we loved having this pretty much to ourselves. We played Pastor Lloyd's family vs. Pastor Dave's! Those of us entertaining little ones cheered and danced in the black lights. Going out for a pizza dinner with the Wickers topped off our afternoon of rainy-day fun.
