Summer JAM with Preston Taylor Ministries...Night 1

HOLY MOLY!!!!! I am sore!!! I ran Sunday and didn't think about it. Anyway last night was a total BLAST! The kids were all so wonderful. Neal was excited to see Xander (from his Sylvan Park school)! I was one of the first crew leaders there (no, not me) so got to hand with the kids from K-2nd till everyone got there. Neal was with us and it was a group of girls and they couldn't believe I only had 2 boys and did boy stuff like play Transformers and X-men and stuff so they taught me a Hannah Montanna dance and I get to be Fancy Nancy for the week :) We started with songs and dance, I had a kid on my back or shoulders from 5:30-8:30 (Neal wanted a ride to the car...) but it was worth it! Carb load today! Our group went to story time first and they told Daniel in the lions den. We got hand signals with that to make the story interactive (a crown for "king" and roar for "lion"). Then everyone got a wrist band. We went to crafts and made little "prayer" catchers. The kids were great. One boy, Elyuz, said that the "ladies got to go first with the glue sticks" we was a super smart guy! Next was games, relay races and sack races. Then snack...that is where we had Neal's melt down...he was a trooper though, it was 7:30 and he hadn't eaten. He didn't get juice like the other kids because they ran out and some took his bag of Cheetos so REALLY upset him. But I pulled him through!! We got in a circle to end the night with more dancing (shoulder rides and piggy-back dancing!) and prayer. I am SO sore but I woke up completely invigorated, in a GREAT mood (except for NO coffee at work, what?!?) and energized for today! Neal is excited as well and can't wait to take Sam Friday night (family night) and show him the dances!
Til' Then....
