MK Life is Never Dull!

Life for an MK (Missionary Kid) is never dull!  This year we have been so many places and met so many new people.  Every Sunday we are in a different church.  Every week we help load the car to visit another area.  Here are some of the things we've been able to do this year:
  • We traveled through 14 states
  • We were able to visit more than 30 national parks and 10 state parks.
  • We completed about 30 Junior Ranger Programs at those parks
  • We were able to visit Washington, D.C.
  • We took 24 ferry rides
  • We visited 16 lighthouses
  • We drove across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel
  • We visited a NASA space station
  • We went to 4 car races
  • We visited Jamestown, Yorktown and Williamsburg
  • We got to feed a cow a Pop-Tart!  (Thanks MickeyMoo!)
  • We went to the Circus
  • We saw real snow for the first time
  • We spent about 60 days in hotel rooms
  • We went to the Dixie Classic Fair
  • We visited two aquariums
  • We took part in 12 mission conferences
  • We went to a gold mine
  • We visited numerous civil war battlefields and forts
  • We went to the zoo
  • We rode on trains, planes, boats, buses, wagons, bicycles a zip-line and of course our white van!
We can't even remember everything we did!  The good news is we managed to keep caught up with our school work and made good grades this year.  Maybe its time for us to go back to Peru where we can get some rest!

Oh, and Olivia wants us to remember that she had two MRI's, stayed four nights in the hospital and got to eat hospital bacon in bed!

Here are a few pictures of the thousands we've taken throughout the year:
