Our Peter.  We are so blessed to know him and have him with us at CC.

 A French Maid?  No, it's Miss Donna donning a skeleton.  That's a cranium on her head... definitely not a coffee filter.  Or as Miss Donna would say "caw-fee filter".

 JASON! What were you doing?  

Punching poor Joseph right below his ribcage and sternum!  Poor Joseph.

 The French Maid... um Miss Donna's vertebrae.

Raven black.

With light reflecting off his head as he waits to let his arrow fly.

light.

firelight

that falls upon the dancers who wear feathers upon their head.

water.

rushing water

a fish jumps.

the hawk spots him and swoops down

to the fish's doom

twig.

a twig snaps

the explorer can only wait for his eminent death.

green tree

the scout accelerates himself up the tree with his coffee brown arms
to reward himself with eggs in a nest.

Cy's dad spent most of the night making each of the children in her class "arms" out of bamboo, a rubber glove and a balloon. The awesome arms helped the children learn about muscle systems. THANK YOU Cy's dad!!!

We acted out the Prodigal Son during opening today. We had the best pigs ever!

Douglas, the father, welcomed back Joseph, the prodigal after he repented.

Joseph, Collin, Stephanie and their siblings enjoyed a day at the National Museum of the Navy!

Jack pulled the damper while Grace and Griffin tried to push. Collin had the right idea, supervisor in the cool shades!

Robert, Stephanie, Christopher and Amy helped with the ooooh awwwws in Justanian's family presentation.

Mike held up signs displaying the acts against colonies.

Justin and Jill, the English Parliment.

If ever I'm in a war I hope to have Jack, Travis, Joseph and Benjamin on my side. We'll all hide together and pray for peace.

Annabelle and her mom act out the First Great Awakening.

General Rob lead his troops in the French and Indian War.
Twice his fearless troops were defeated and driven back by the Indians. With Travis and Jack on his team it is hard to imagine how they failed, but alas,even the fiercest warriors are defeated sometimes.

Griffan and Cy did a great job cleaning! Thank you!

Julie, Cy and Pam!

General Washington-Joseph is shooting at British Commander Bo.
I'm not sure which side General Ethan was on but he fought bravely.

What are Tiffany and Jen doing? They are SHOOTING weapons!

British General Douglas dramatically died several times during our presentation.

The forces of General Washington and the British General Douglas met
on the pergo of Cedar Run. Each man chose his troops, knowing
who was loyal based on the color of their clothing.
A fierce battle ensued, leaving many wounded.

Jack Revere bravely rode through the land yelling
"the British are coming, the British are coming!"

British General Douglas examined the colonists to see if any could be made into loyal troops. There were few, but General Douglas trained them into warriors.
