In no particular order, here are some of the things that impressed me during the reunion:
1. Zachary's expertise playing "As Zion's Youth" and the young people singing it!
2. Esther's excellent performance of "Memory." Such a beautiful song.
3. Brenda's beautiful arrangement of "How Great Thou Art."
4. Jessica's song ("My Task") was spiritual and that keyboard is more expressive than I thought it would be. I'm sure my Dad was listening to it.
5. The fun of dancing the Virginia Reel. It tickled me to see how much Gideon loves to dance.
6. All those who pitched in with cooking and clean-up. Particularly Ken and his girls cleaning up after the last meal--Ken singing and making it fun and his girls working hard!
7. Gideon wanting to sit on Jason's lap during the talent show. Jason watching him while the others went running. They are buddies!
8. Ann Marie's confidence in playing a song she had memorized.
9. Creative box decorating, notably Sam's bug box and Rachel's black box with sparkles.
10. Neil's uncanny ability to find the lost lock.
11. Neil's calming MC-ing.
12. The two skits that were actually funny and creative.
13. Robin's gracefulness on the zipline.
14. Zachary's expertise in flipping burgers.
15. Brenda's prayer that Jason's wedding ring could be found (and it was the next week by a girls camp).
