We're going to Gateway Church's Carnival!

 

We are so grateful to Gateway Church for inviting us to celebrate the end of the 2011/2012 Homework Center year by a trip to Southlake, TX for an evening Carnival!   Each child will have his own money to spend on funnel cakes, popcorn and more carnival fare and games.. what a blessing.
