This week we stayed with the Fitkin family in Grand Lake, Louisiana. We were met with hugs and personalized tour shirts. We had a lot of fun and fellowship, we even had time to go on an excursion. The boys and girls separated, boys to the beech and a wild life refuge to look at alligators, turtles and fish, and girls to get our first pedicures. Needless to say both adventures had their fair share of apprehension. For the boys it was the alligators, for the girls, the array of implements laid out for our treatment. It was so much fun sharing these new experiences with such fun and patient hosts. Thanks so much!
