March Field Trip {World Vision}

I know this post is way over due...but oh well.  Better late than never...right!?!?!  Anyway 2 weeks ago we headed down to the world vision headquarters to do a little field trip.  We thought it would be fun for the kids to see and touch what world vision is about.  I know for me it is so much easier to remember things if I see them not just hear about them.

Our "tour" guide was amazing she had 4 boys (and homeschooled them all) so she knew how to handle 8 kids (my sis was there with her 4 boys also).  She really engaged the kids and had some fun games for them to play.  I loved listening to the kids answer the her questions.  It really surprised me how much they knew...I guess they  really are listening.

Everybody taking there turn at pumping the water

My husband and I just watched the Devil Came on Horseback. 
If you haven't seen it I would totally suggest watching it.  It is about a ex-marine who in 2004 took a job over seeing the cease fire in Sudan.... little did he know what he was getting himself into.  It is visually disturbing but this is their reality and I think we need to educate ourselves.  I for one don't remember hardly any news coverage on this when it happened.  It definitely makes our little problems that we think are so big, seem so trivial.

*Warning-make sure your children are not standing near when watching this.
