Sorry that it has been so long since we have blogged but things have been very hectic. We traveled to Okeefenokee Swamp in southern Georgia the first part of April to go canoeing with a total of 14 people from the Creation Museum. We spent two nights out in the swamp on platforms that were specifically built for camping overnight. The first day we canoed 12 miles mostly against the current. The weather was very hot that first day with no shade. The next day was 11 miles of canoeing but it was with the current and we did have more shade. The third day was 8miles. We are going to offer this canoeing trip hopefully twice a year for people to go with us. It was a lot of fun and we saw a lot of wildlife and plant life.
We have also been traveling quite a bit speaking and doing concerts. We just finished a four day tour in Niles, Ohio and have been to Duluth, Minnesota. We did a wild game supper in Michigan as well as Sunday services. I am including a photo of the men from the wild game supper and also a picture of Buddy singing with the children. They surprised Buddy and got up and sang a couple of his songs for him. It was just great! In Minnesota we did Sunday services and then a workshop for about 156 children on Monday morning. We have enjoyed meeting a lot of new friends. When we were at the museum a couple of weeks ago, we were surprised to see the Troy Christian elementary school students that we had met earlier in the year at their school. They were visiting the museum and had actually spent the night there in a special overnight camp out at the museum. What fun they had!
We are currently in Charlotte, North Carolina getting ready to record two new CD's. The musicians will be ready to start today and they are so professional that they can just listen to Buddy's song and get it right the first time. It is fun to just watch them listen to the song and figure out who does what in the song. Buddy will be singing today as well. Please pray that everything will go smoothly. More on what is happening later...
