Schedules
Pancake Breakfast
Sunday morning the church next to us has an all you can eat pancake breakfast under our tent (We put the tent up on their baseball field) that benefits their youth group. It is great fun since the pancakes are made by Chris’s cakes and he flips them to your plate from 10-25 feet away. It’s a lot of fun and his pancakes are very good. Most of the people head home Sunday morning or afternoon or take in one of the cruises they didn’t get to do on Friday.
