Had a fantastic weekend at Hills Alive, our local, free Christian music festival.  The line-up was the best I can remember in years, and — to top that — I got to join the artists on stage each night just before the headliners (TobyMac and Switchfoot).  Nothing big, but fun nonetheless; I was basically playing keys and leading worship for the speakers during their altar calls.  Check out some pics I posted from the weekend on the elevating a generation blog.

Family-fun trip to Valley Fair and Mall of America with Grandma Pearl and Auntie Christy.  Here’s the pics and below are some of the theme park highlights.  Mind you, we didn’t film a lot of us adults (and our 2 teenagers) because we were always riding on the rides together.  Oh well, next time we’ll have to hire a videographer!
