Turning Hearts Celebration

Sorry this is so late. Mom has not put any pictures of  Christmas on the computer, so I will be posting about OLD stuff!!!!!!  (Note from Mom – I am out of memory and my computer doesn’t like it!!!  We are trying to make a decision on a new computer so the boys can use this one for their school.  Hopefully we can come up with a good plan for all my pictures!)

In September, on Labor Day Weekend, we went to the Bontragers house for the 11th Annual Turning Hearts Celebration.  Every year they have a different special speaker.  For 2013 they invited the Duggars.  They have 19 kids and 1 daughter-in-law  and 3 grandchildren.  I will give the Bontragers blog at the end of the post.  There were about 1000 people there. 

Here are some pictures.

The whole Bontrager family

Boys playing football.  I see one Plattner child.

Jesse and to the left of him are Jedidiah and Jeremiah Duggar.   Jedidiah and Jeremiah are twins.

The whole group of boys ready to play football. 

Javan said they numbered off and there were about 80 boys playing.

(LL – they divided into 8 teams.)

Javan loves to play football.

Javan always charged the guy in the yellow shirt.  Javan said he got pretty frustrated.

Let’s get some action!!!!

OUCH!!!!!!  It is just ketchup.  When I was trying to open my ketchup I  was having a hard time but I finely succeeded and got bad results.

The evening concert - the Duggars and the Bontragers performed some more.

Playing as a group.

The girls singing the Lords Prayer.

After the concert was over they set up a big game of volleyball.  We had to leave.  We would have stayed longer but we had a 3 hour drive home.  We got home about 1:30.
