Everyone enjoyed our week in Huntsville, AL--but I think the Galkin kids enjoyed one particular night the most. Since the church was kind enough to let us stay in their missionary apartments, Josh, Reba, and I decided it would be fun to have a sleep over with the kids! So, with the anticipation building up through the week, we brought the kids over after the service on Thursday night for the best sleep over of their lives. Not only did we stock up on tons of junk food, but we also watched a fun movie (projected onto the wall, thanks to Josh!) and some competition on the Wii. When the boys and girls split ways for the night, we went to bed tired, and looking forward to the breakfast the guys would cook in the morning. We discovered many things through this experience--first, that Anna Grace is quite good at Wii bowling, while William takes after his dad in dominating the WiiPlay Tanks game. Second, Lilly and David are very affected by sugar late at night, and that if left to his own devices, David can and will eat a whole bag of M&Ms. Third, Josh can make some great french toast!

After getting to sleep in a little bit, eating a good breakfast, and letting the kids take some bubble baths, we met up with Will and Christy and took a field trip to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville. We all learned a lot through the different exhibits, and the presentation about the Apollo moon landings. Probably the boys enjoyed the trip the most, as they saw and read about different rockets, guns, missiles, and space ships. Seeing the Saturn V space ship up close was definitely a treat, and William was thrilled to see a life-size display of Darth Vader's costume. A fun night/day was had by all, and we are always grateful for times of fellowship with the team!
