Father/Son & Father/Daughter Weekend
A few weeks ago, the Wiesbaden Chaplains hosted a series of Father/Son and Father/Daughter weekends.
For the father/daughter event, they hosted a parent training seminar and brought in two guest speakers from the States. Rick Warren’s (author, “Purpose Driven Life”) brother-in-law Tom Holladay and his wife spoke to us about the challenges and opportunities of being parents. It was a great seminar and a time for Stef and I to take some time to learn something together and focus on our own thoughts and strategies.
That night, Emily, Anabelle and I dressed up and attended a formal banquet where we played some games, talked and listened to the guest speakers again. We even got to dance to a song before the night was out.

The following weekend, for the Father/Son event, they flew in two baseball players from California. Bryan Hickerson & Eric Christoferson took the boys out to learn some baseball skills while Dr. John LaNoue (Texas Baptist Men) gave us a heart felt lecture on his amazing life and for finding a purpose to yours.
The following day we headed to the Kletterwald ropes course - which is an obstacle/confidence course that is built high in the Taunus Mountains and designed to challenge you both physically and mentally. Overall, both of these events served as a unique way to communicate with our children in a different way. Thank you!
