Second day here in VA. This morning we went to Mike and Laura's church, Covenant Life Church (Josh Harris is a pastor there, yes, the author :), ya I've mentioned this before). It is a really great church. It was interesting today they had two baptisms during the service. Yes, in the sanctuary there is a small pool! It was different, but good.
After church we drove over to a state park in Maryland (that's where Covenant Life is) to play some disc golf. The course is made up of three loops of nine holes. We only did two of the loops :) (27 holes is a lot!) If you've never gone disc golfing, you should. Today I did not do so well, but it was good exercise and a chance to try out a new course.
After disc golf we came home for some lunch and watching golf (ya, I know you're like, "Golf? That's boring!"). It can be boring, but it's easier to like it when you're going for someone. We watched that for a while, well some of us, and I got a few z's on the couch. When I awoke we played Settlers (mentioned in previous post). After we went to Olive Garden for dinner! It was pretty good :) We came home and Mike and Laura went to bed not long after; they have to wake up early! Now watching some tv and on the computer.
Going into DC tomorrow with Natalie.
P.S. Oh, by the way, the beginning reference about counting your blessings and the animals refers to the wildlife we saw while disc golfing. We first saw two deer. Then another deer. Thirdly, we saw a buck and a doe run/jump across a creek. While searching for a missing disc, I located a turtle. We think it might have been a snapping turtle, not sure. Then we saw this prairie dog animal as we left the park. As we were driving out some of us saw two more deer. I missed them :( :/.

Yep! Ya, you should play sometime...they might even have a course in WI. I had Grilled Steak Tostada, which was pretty good. And, of course unlimited salad and bread sticks. Plus we got this alfredo (sp?) dipping sauce (which was basically alfredo sauce that they use on their pasta. :) Thanks!
Hope y'all are doing well! We should probably start planning Aug. 5 now...well maybe not :P!
What is disc golf???
Sounds like you are having a great time! Hope you enjoyed yourself in DC.
Jessie, disc golf is like a combination of golf and frisbee. You have these disks that you try and throw into these baskets/holes. There are usually 18 holes to a course (like in real golf). It's great because courses are usually free. So youreally only need to pay for disks which are only like $9-$10 per disk. Thanks, it was good to get to go in the city!
yay for day 2! Sounds like a fun day. I've never played disc golf either. I guess Megan, Jessie, and I are all behind the times. Sounds fun though! and yay for unlimited bread sticks! I enjoy that so much. but man, I can't believe you went to Josh Harris's church, that is so cool!
oh yeah, and about the 5th. Megan said she has to go get a haircut in the morning, so me and sarah and mary already decided that we're gonna go with her! :)
