Big Church Day Out

Hi all! Well, we are back to our normal schedule in Edinburgh - but that doesn't mean that we aren't still busy having fun in the U.K. For quite some time we've been looking forward to a full day series of rock concerts called the Big Church Day Out in Leichester, England. A number of our favourite Christian artists were headlining the day, but there were lots of other things for the kids to enjoy as well at the event. Short, non-historical blog entry, but hey - this is what we're up to!

A photo of the stage with a cool group called LZ7. Weak name, but lots of fun to listen to.

Brenton Brown led a great worship session.

A close-up of the lead singer of Switchfoot.

And here's his view of the crowd in front of him...

Our favourite act of the day was Toby Mac. Isaiah sat on my shoulders to be able to see over the crowd, and part way through the song the large screen switched from showing Toby Mac to a huge close-up of Isaiah bouncing up and down on my shoulders. Pretty cool moment, especially when he raised his arms in triumph and everyone cheered!

Here's Isaiah taking a break from the music and checking out the bicycle course.

And again, trying out the obstacles...

And getting ready to climb the rock-climbing tower...

Finally, this is us in the bumper cars, or as they call it "Dodge-ems". I'm not sure if Emma looks scared or just plain crazed - either way it doesn't bode well for when she gets a license someday...

So long! See you on the next entry!
