Adam's Group: Week 10

We were in West Virginia this week and had many great meetings.

One of the highlights of this week

was staying with the Childers, who were the

parents of David Childers. He was with

the Crown Quartet that was killed in a crash

in 2004. They were such an encouragement and we

had a wonderful time with them!

Singing at one of our meetings...

Riding horses at the Childers' farm...

Taking off...I loved it!

Mr. Childers gave each one of us English horse

riding hats. They were such wonderful

people and God really blessed that visit.

Adam and His group

Adam got to visit New York City and they had a blast...

Family History and Family in South Dakota

My mom's Dad and Mom grew up in South Dakota.

This past weekend I got to go visit the

farms they used to live on....

This is my mom's great grandparents farm...

This is her grandparents farm.

This was a beautiful view of the barn

as we were driving down the road...

And here is the house!

And this is my family that I got to see, some of which

I have never met. From left to right...my mom's cousin, Alan;

Alan's daughter, son-in-law, and grandson; my mom's

Aunt and Uncle, Eloise and Dwayne.

It was really neat to see and meet them!

Sights of South Dakota

Our group has been all over in South Dakota

and we have seen a lot of different things.

We have had a great time!

We all got to wear OUR OWN CLOTHES!!!

This, for those who have never traveled with a group,

is a luxury. We dressed up, took many pictures, and

went out to a restaurant to eat.

It was a blast!

Mt. Rushmore! WOOHOO!! It was so incredible...

ten times better than the pictures.

We also went to the Badlands which is mountains

in a desert made out of mud. Many of

them have green, red, and orange layers

which makes it beautiful.

I spotted sunflowers growing on the side

of the road and had them stop.

I had never seen sunflowers naturally growing.

It was the most beautiful thing I have seen!

We also went to an old town called Wall Drug.

It was started by a lady and her husband

who were trying to attract settlers

so they advertised free iced water for all who

stopped in....and yes, I had some free water ;)

Grand Canyon!

I FINALLY MADE IT!!!

Pointing the way to the canyon...YEAH!!

Me with the Grand Canyon in the back...

What a view!!!!

Grand Canyon P2

Sign for the North Rim Lodge....

The 3 mile path I hiked on the edge of the Canyon.

I did it all by myself!

A view through the trees....

The sky was beautiful that day!

Highest view possible. It was so breath-taking!
