Haaa I RESEMBLE that statement!!!! ::chili:: But I promise you wont walk away (if you can) bored!!!

I feel your pain. I sent my 26 yr old daughter to JAPAN for 3 WEEKS! And they had a typhoon, and the Malaysian plane crash the day before she flew back. Talk about nervous.

Glad your daughter made it back safe!!!

Haaa!!!! Yeah they are a wayward group. This trip is not to rebuild homes or poor like the week before last, its for the kids. Nice people but an unimaginable huge % do not identify with any religion. So they are there working with middle school kids.

No religion eh!! We're all a bloody bunch of heathens here north of the border......we like our hockey, Tim Horton's coffee and our beer cases are designed so we can carry them with mitts on!! lollerz

Tim Horton's in Canada is very special........some cities you might have to go a mile before stumble across one.

ahhh must be like Starbucks. That kid loves her coffee stuff. She has to have her fix so I always tell her how many minutes she has to work for each drink so I've noticed a slow down in how often she goes now LOL.Dad refuses to buy her Starbucks.

Well the good thing is Timmy's is not like sixbucks is .....price is actually reasonable.

well Starbucks has to add on cost for supporting you know who.

Where in Canada did she go?

There's a camp at Alberta Beach. the church groups apparently gather there and conduct these for the youth.

Today is their last day of 5 and tomorrow is their free day. A three hour drive to Jasper National Park to hike and see the glacier. Its a reward for their hard work over the past 5 years and 6 to 7 missions, rebuilding homes in the harshest poverty areas of Texas New Mexico and Oklahoma.

Nice way to wrap things up. Dad will be happy to see her home no hiding your pride on this one Carter

Mission trips were some of the best experiences my kids had growing up. The trips seem to put into perspective how good they have it. I've chaperoned on a couple and they have been very rewarding.

Heres for safe travels on the way home!!

Luke that is one of the kindest things anyone has said!!! Thank you. Of course I'm quite proud and what brings it full circle is to have witnessed "how she is" away from home. On the home rebuilds we went on a few weeks ago.....that kid works and never once complained about how much or how hard the work was to do.



and this one she wanted to try her hand at bust'n rock.... we put in roughly 15 to 17 post holes in limestone... best i could get was 18" deep for the post and lucky to get that.
