RE: Campaign

6 Years, 41 Weeks.


I was asked to be on the planning committee for this year's church retreat, our annual trek up to Camp Kulaqua in High Springs.  They gave me the responsibility of promoting the weekend, to create buzz so that more members and families from our church would have more information about the weekend be interested to attend.

I came up with a video idea to promote the retreat, and enlisted the talent of J Michael Media to collaborate and film and produce what I dubbed the RE: Campaign.  This gave us an opportunity to take a short overnight trip up to Kulaqua this past week, to be able to shoot the video there.  Very exciting stuff!!

Getting shots of wildlife at the zoo.

Here was our week:

Friday the kids were off of school for teachers' inservice, so we went to the Science Center to check
out the new Astronaut exhibit.

Trying to put together blocks and using tools with gloves just like the astronauts do.

Maddy just loves to pick the oranges.

A quick lunch at Pei Wei.

Swung by Barnes and Noble to hook up with Mommy, and to check out some books.

Swung by Just Puppies to give some affection to the poor animals...

I mean, just look at that face!

These two fell in love with each other.

Caught a quick flick afterwards and saw Trolls.

Sunday afternoon rolled out for Kulaqua.

They gave us a golf cart to use while we were there!

They put us up in the lodge.  Not too shabby!  Totally different from the mini lodge!

Had supper at a Mexican restaurant in High Springs.

We had the lodge, and pretty much the entire place, all to ourselves!

I had these two with me!

Catching up with the other Isidro boys.

Heading back to Orlando, I was jealous of Braelyn.

Met up with the Grodacks and the Reeves for supper, as they were down from Georgia.

Back to having a gap in that cheese!

Have a great weekend!!
