Eight Watermelons Later...


Sunday night was our church's annual 'Baptism on the Green'! They combine a huge baptism event with an end of summer blowout! 


There were free hot dogs, chips, drinks and Raylan's favorite-watermelon! He practically ate a few watermelons all by himself. 
And he was a nice sticky mess afterwards to prove it!


Sawyer invited his buddy, Josh from across the street and the two of them had a ball running around together 
and getting into all sorts of mischief! 


There was this family that ran a ministry called 'Champions for Jesus'-they have ten kids and as a family, they do this whole basketball show and they are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. The things they did with basketballs were just jaw dropping. 


They also did a whole unicycle routine too and finished by all riding on these huge ten foot tall unicycles! 


These two cuties were the youngest and they came out and did a few laps on their unicycles 
and were like the most adorable things ever!


In the middle of the show, they had a fantastic gospel message that they shared. They have performed in over thirty five countries, with celebrities and most recently were on 'America's Got Talent' (Last Tuesday actually!) Sawyer and Josh sat through the whole thing going, "WOA!!!!!!!!"


There was also a live band, bouncy houses, train rides, trampolines and free ice cream from the Ding-Ding Man!


If anyone needs ideas of what to give Raylan for Christmas, your best bet is a plastic water bottle. He entertained himself for an hour with this thing.....oh the small joys in life......


It was such a special evening to watch over one hundred and fifty people get baptized! (Including a friends from our Journey Group!) They concluded the evening with a fireworks show!
