This past week the schools, teachers and students of Oklahoma City observed several days of Spring Break. During this time we at Cross and Crown closed down the food pantry, clothing room and other ministries in order to focus our attention on the kids.
Monday and Wednesday morning 15-20 kids from the neighborhood helped Ron and I pick up some food donations and then deliver the food throughout the neighborhood.
Similar to the week before, the kids organized fruits, vegetables, frozen meats, breads and other foods in 60-75 boxes each day and then traveled with us throughout the neighborhood going door to door to deliver each family a nice Spring Break food basket. The kids enjoyed themselves and the families were very appreciative. Everyone wins!
Following their hard work and help we cooked up some pizzas and snacks for the kids, hit the computers and video games for a couple hours and then called it a day.
Tuesday we gathered up 20 some odd kids and headed to go skating. We had a delicious meal at CiCi's Pizza and then hit the rink. The skating outing was a first time experience for some of the kids, as you can see from the pictures with most of the girls clinging to the side rails and walls.
Some of the kids walked away from the rink with bruises to remind them of SB2011 Rock Island style for days to come. There were kids falling and splattering all over the rink every time you turned around. It was awesome.

Below are some pictures and videos from our neighborhood food excursion and skating adventure.
Be warned: some of the videos may contain footage of ridiculous dance moves that should never be mimicked or attempted. Enjoy!
