Crumpling newspapers to fill paper "bricks" for a project is dirty business. Ashley, Courtney, and Megan promise to wash their hands before they eat supper.

Friendly Skies

Everyone shares a smile before the in-flight napping begins. The tray you see in front of Megan will soon become her pillow. Megan will become Courtney's pillow. Ashley's pillow will be the window. Sam will recline his seat. Chris and Eric will - amazingly - remain awake for the entire flight. We'll see how they do tomorrow.

Check-in

We made it the airport safe and sound and got in line for check-in. Guess which one in the picture isn't a morning person.

Good Morning(?)

Is there life before four in the morning? These teens' journey began today at 3:54 am. No that is not a typo! Have a great trip. Hopefully you are landing as I write this. Enjoy the picture. I don't believe that my (Mr. Carlovsky) eyes are open. Scary picture. Can't wait to see better pictures from this week. Have fun on the high seas!

Ready To Go

As the excitement builds, I believe that this picture from last year's trip shows some feelings. Ready for launch. The excitement. The anticipation. Let's just hope it doesn't turn out to be a raw egg. Have fun. God will be with you.

One Week Away

Excited? Nervous? Ready to go already!

Whatever the emotions, this summer will be an exciting one for teens from St. Paul. Seven teens will be leaving shortly for Falls Church, Va. Also in August, five completely different teens will be leaving for California. All of teens are confident that no matter where they go, God will be there with them. "Never will I leave you, never..." We know how the verse goes. Our prayers and support are with you.
