We probably started a tradition tonight! We headed up to Greenspot Farms for a truly frightening haunted hayride, complete with loud screams, chainsaws, deranged killers, and a long walk fending off other types of creatures. Then it was back to the church building where there was some intense pumpkin carving. The results were awesome. While we carved we listened to some Halloween music (The Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack), drank hot apple cider and hot chocolate, and had candy and cookies. Great job on those pumpkins - for those of you who weren't there, check out those pics and see what you missed!

Fun Day Out!

Just thought I would throw this out there in case any of you are looking for a pet OR a fun free outing with the kids. October 20, 2007, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oktoberfest at Ramona Humane Society. Family fun and entertainment for kids of all ages! Great food, music, crafts, clowns, face-painting, dancers, carnival games, frisbee tossing, and dog agility shows performed by the Muttley Crew Gang. AND if you are interested in adopting a pet they have 400 dogs at all times, lots of cute kitties and they even have bunnies, hampsters and birds. Cats and Dogs are only $25 on Saturday the 20th during the Octoberfest. We recently adopted a 3 year old Chihuahua mix there and she is such an amazing dog...potty trained, sweet with the kids and came with all vaccinnations, neutered and on Saturday you can too...for only $25. It's a little bit of a drive but it is a beautiful drive through the hills and it would be fun for kids...they even have large animals like horses, cows, pigs...Ramona Humane Society690 Humane WaySan Jacinto, CA

Happy Birthday Rikki!

The angels were singing tonight! Rikki Scates was baptized tonight by her grandfather, Charlie at the building. Congratulations Rikki - you've made the best decision of your life!

Meeting Dan in Redlands

This afternoon my wife and I took Sophie and Jack to meet Dan Haseltine, the lead singer for Jars of Clay, at the Barnes & Noble in Redlands. Dan recently published his first book - a children's book entitled "The One, The Only Magnificent Me." My daughter was so excited to get a book signed especially for her. This picture seriously makes me laugh and I thought everyone would get a kick out of it. Dan was very kind and generous to everyone who came and my daughter has a great, "magnificent" memory. God bless
