Funny or Folly
So today I ventured out on what I hoped would be an epic adventure with my son Ayden. Last year Ayden won a family pass to go skiing ... we are not usually much for skiing, but considering it was set to expire and realizing that in just one week I will embark on an 11 Day Mission's trip to California (Yup. It's a tough life!) I kept Ayden home from school and drove to Red Deer for a day of skiing. Well, that turned out to be much more awkward than I had thought when we arrived and were instructed that we had a family pass for a ski park in Edmonton ... ugh. That is right. We were 90 minutes away from our highly anticipated Daddy and Son skiing day. Realizing that the $140 to ski in Red Deer was just not feesible we carried on to Edmonton and settled in just after lunch. Four incredible hours with my son later ... and I had completely forgotten about my little oops in traveling to the wrong city. I was easily out done by my rather brave, and ambitious son. I drove way further than I had anticipated. I feel exhausted and out of shape. It was Awesome! Funny or Folly ... probably more funny than folly, but all in all ... totally worth it!

Kony 2012
Kony 2012 was released on March 5 in an attempt to raise awareness of Joseph Kony; a war criminal and the leader of the notorious LRA.
Kony 2012 details how Ugandan children live in fear of being abducted and are forced, among other horrific acts, to murder their parents. The video has gone viral with over 7,000,000 views (that is 3,00,000 more than this morning when I last checked).
We invited Invisible Children to come to our local High School in September 2011 to share about the battle against the LRA and the efforts to capture Joseph Kony. Invisible Children is a movement seeking to end the conflict in Uganda and stop the abduction of children for use as child soldiers.
Check out the movie, sign the pledge, and share it with others.
