Too many peach pictures

                                      Kaiden and Finn had matching war wounds. BMX night

                                    The kids participated in Olympic day at the BMX track.
                                              (getting their certificates)

                                             Local outreach. We get to feed 200 people once a month.
                                                          On the menu this week: Sloppy Joes

                               Finn was at the juice post the whole outreach. He speaks to
                                     every person that walks through the line.  Very proud mama

                                     One of the staff kids was in an accident... they wanted Wes to come
                                          put the tire back on. The car was totaled.  He couldn't help
                                          himself... he had to take some pics of the scene.

                             I know how many pics of peaches we have on here now, but if you
                           were here, and a part of this, you would understand the excitement.
                             There are hundreds of thousands of pounds going out into the field to
                               dry everyday. Every peach feeds a hungry tummy.

                             All the cores get dumped into these bins, and shipped to farms for
                              animals to consume before they spoil. Not a drop wasted.

This and that

                                 The river

                                Friday night dinner with everyone. It's called Love Feast.

                                             More soup going out.

                            Finn lookin so good at a baseball game. Stripes are the new black.
                                          

                                 Someone built the kids this castle out of peach boxes.

                                            My neighbor Henrijs stopped by one night to show me
                                            the cow tongue he just bought. We ate tongue taco's.

                                      they are finished being dried.

play and peaches

                                Getting started cleaning trays for the peaches.

                                Al getting the processing plant ready.  The machines were originally
                                for tomatoes, he custom built it and modified it to made it work.

                                            I helped out by greasing about 400 grease zerks.
                                             Got into some random spots like this.

                               Had some silly games to get to know the summer staff that are
                               here working for the next 3 months.

                                            This guy pulled up Friday night.......

                                            and donated some crazy amount of eggs, something
                                            like 80 thousand

                                 Cool trailer.

                                Sweet road.

                               We took part in an outreach in a town called Orange Cove.
                                The summer staff started out with a play.  The were a bunch of
                                other churches and groups that took part.

                                           Working hard watching the kids.

                                            Lori telling the kids about Jesus.

                                            Even had a guy rapping.

                                            Getting ready to give stuff out... all sorts of food,
                                            juice, household items, and water.

                                           We gave out a lot of items, the toilet paper was a
                                            big hit.

                                            This may be overloaded.

                                            Sometimes it does not take much to make the kids
                                             happy.

                                It was a success!
