Saturday my lovely SEAP family went to Kings Dominion!... which happens to look exactly like Kings Island! It poured the first hour we were there, but we rode the Spongebob indoor theater ride and outlasted the rain. It turned out to be a pretty day, and we were able to ride to our heart's content.

This week's emphasis was on Northern Africa/Middle East and Central Asia. So to our cultural time, the women were required to wear long sleeves, long pants, and head coverings. It was quite the experience. The men and women were separated, and it was strange not being able to tell who anyone was from the back.
I played my first ever game of soccer! For whatever reason, my parents never enrolled me in sports as a kid - perhaps because I was the squirt who always got hurt - but consequently, I lack any kind of athletic capabilities. So when I say I "played" soccer, I really mean I contributed little to nothing. I first had to get over my intial reaction of running away from the ball (hey - what can I say? It's natural instinct! A fast-moving ball is headed towards me and people are charging at me... self-defense!) but after my initial avoiding the ball and illegal move of protecting my face with my hands from getting smashed by the ball, I at least wasn't a hinderance. Everyone was super nice and encouraging.
On a brighter note, I have an announcement to make - we have baby squirrels in our quad. Five of them to be exact (can we say flashback to the Chasity/baby squirrel incident of '09?). These squirrels are itty bitty. Tomorrow, their rescuer is taking them to an animal refuge to be taken care of. Our quad has suddenly become a lot more popular now that we have baby animals.
"For it is you who light my lamp; the Lord my God lightens my darkness. For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. This God - his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him." - Psalm 18:28-30
