ReCap of Last Weekend at GHEA

First of all, the conference seemed much more crowded this year. I think it was due to the fact that the keynote speakers are so well-known. Many people came to hear Voddie Baucham Jr.  www.voddiebaucham.org/ 
and
Ken Ham
www.answersingenesis.org/

They did not disappoint us either. They gave some good talks.
Also, they added a Teen Track this year, which drew in more of that age group than previous years. There were special speakers just for them. One in particular interested us, because we have been enjoying his movies,  following his blog, and anticipating the next one.

We visited him at his booth

And he autographed our DVD covers
We got a real shock when he said he had heard of Theron Rose. People had mentioned that's where they first heard of his movies from our very own movie lover. He frequently shares family -friendly movies that he likes with others. They talked for a while (they both have the gift of gab), then he gave Theron two DVDs for free, I guess because he's such a good promoter.

Hannah and Josiah took part in the Little Patriots program for the first time this year. It is a program for 6 to 12 year olds. Each small group is led by two homeschool teens (one boy and one girl) They play games, do crafts, sing songs, and have their own speakers/entertainers on Friday night and all day Saturday. Saturday afternoon, they sing for the parents.


This is the group they were in

They both enjoyed it and had a great brother/sister team to lead them.

As always, I wore myself out in the Used Book Sale. Saved some money. Made some money.
Can't wait til next year!
