Day 2-- Tampa to Naples to Key Largo


The Youth returned from their host homes in Tampa ready to travel to Naples for a concert at Moorings Park Community. Many thanks to all of the generous people from Bayshore Baptist who opened their homes to us!





On the bus, we made sure to make Taylor's birthday special!













At Moorings Park Community, the choir was treated to Cuban sandwiches for lunch before the concert.





















Among the highlights at Moorings Park Community Chapel, Ms Linda got to play a beautiful harpsichord.










After leaving Naples, the choir got to look for alligators as they passed through the Everglades.












Daily Journal:
"Well, yesterday we went from Tampa to Naples to Key Largo. Going to Key Largo we saw plenty of gators. It was cool." Brian C.







Finally, many of us enjoyed a late dinner at a seafood restaurant on the beach in Key Largo, complete with live music and dancing.

Day 1- Forsyth to Tampa








Loaded and ready to go, except of course for one last hug!















The bus ride is always fun, especially with the spades tournament in full swing.







The choir, the various musicians, NewVoice, and the Chi Rho drama group all performed their best at Bayshore Baptist Church in Tampa before going to the homes of church members for the night.
































Devotional warmups are an important part of our day.







Many thanks to all of our leaders for making this trip possible!
