Oh, The Places You'll Go!

This week's day camp theme at the Pleasant Mound site for elementary kids is DR. SEUSS!! Oh, The Places You'll Go is the basis for the 1st and 2nd grade bible lesson that Hannah and I have planned:

"For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  Jeremiah 29:11

Though we haven't gotten to show pictures from the book because our site didn't have it, we have been reading the story to the kids during bible lesson (I knew I should have brought my copy from home :P). We finally get to read it with pictures tomorrow, thanks to another PT day camp site that's loaning us the book!

Since I don't have much time until the morning comes, I am going to tell you all about a few places I have gone while I've been here in Dallas, and a few places I plan to go before I leave Dallas! (Get it?!)

Places I've Been:

• Southern Methodist University - probably the most beautiful place on earth
• Pleasant Mound United Methodist - all day, every day; this is the site that day camp is held at!
• Jack-in-the-Box - for the first time ever, but not the last!
• Yogurtland, I Heart Yogurt, etc...- Frozen Yogurt/Froyo is so frequent in Dallas that it only costs 35 cents an ounce: mmmm.
• Studio Movie Grill - a movie theater with a dinner menu and restaurant service?! yes please!
• Chic-Fil-A - less than impressive, people!

Places I Plan to Go:

• Six Flags - for those of you following Kristen's blog...there is no connection!
• Water Park (ideas anyone?!?!)
• Taco Bell - yes, really.
• The Mall (any mall) - Pay Day was TODAY!
• The Village - I've heard so many good things about Matt Chandler, pastor of this church
• Dallas Zoo - even though a petting zoo already came to our day camp : )
• Walmart - I heard they are bigger in Texas??
• and so many more places that I don't even know about yet, I'm sure!

I know you're probably wondering...WHERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE KIDS?! Well, the sad news is that I'm under a privacy commitment not to put up pictures of our kids on public sites. The happy news is that if you are friends with me on Facebook, you will be able to see pictures of the kids from Pleasant Mound in my album, conveniently titled, "Texas Toast." In the mean time, take a look at me and some teammates from P.Mound!!

Hannah, me, and Ariel at Family Fun Night tonight! Snowcones...mmm.
