Here are the specifics:
December 3-19, 2010
Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm

What a great way to usher in the Christmas season!!

So my kids are sort of obsessed with OWLS now since seeing the movie "legend of the guardians- the owls of ga hool" and reading the books!!!!!  So when one of dad's co-workers sent him some information about an owl festival at the Avian Reconditioning Center,  well... duh!!!  So we went!!!  The A.R.C. is a great place for owls and birds of prey that are in transition from injury or are in need of a permanent home due to displacement or injury!  They also use their birds for a great education mission! My son's class went to the center a couple years ago and adopted one of their owls!  It was so cool to walk in and see the exact owl, Hunter, that the kids adopted!!!  He was super excited!

There were bounce houses, vendors, flight demonstrations, falconry demonstrations, entertainments, and of course TONS of birds to oogle over!  Man , are they beautiful and right there w/i inches of you!

Enjoy the pics!!!



 This is Hunter, the owl my son's class adopted!!!
He lost his eye due to an attack.


 Gosh, I still can't get over how majestic and
beautiful these guys are !!!!

Yes... it has come and gone!!!  Night of Joy at the Magic Kingdom!
My hubby is back  for a brief bit before heading off to NYC!
Myself and a girlfriend went... I know I am crazy to brave the crowds, but how else was I going to get a glimpse of my husband?!  I did take Monkey with me.  She did great! 
The bands were great!  First up was David Crowder Band!!
After David Crowder we wondered around to the other stages... Side Walk Prophets, Barlow Girl etc...
We were really only waiting to see the one we had waited for ALL night-- all year for that matter!!
CHRIS TOMLIN!!  
Finally it was time... Hubby got us situated RIGHT UP FRONT!  Ahh!
Then the rain!!!!!
What do you mean there is a rain delay for Chris Tomlin?
The Lord kept the rain at a slow drizzle then stopped! YES!!!
Guess who was backing him up?  Christy Nockels from the band Watermark!  I adore Christy!  She was the worship leader for our MOPS convention back in August!  Her worship is so amazing!  Having her there w/ Chris was an awesome surprise!

Monkey fell asleep about 2 songs into Chris' set and never woke up till 8 am the next morning!
What a great night!!!  We didn't make it to see Casting Crowns-- there set was at @ midnight.  The Lord worked that one through for me... Chris Tomlin and Casting Crowns were supposed to be swapped!! :o)

Have a great day!!!!!!!!!
