Let's celebrate May Hawaiian style! As you arrive for our

lei as our way of saying “Aloha.” Dinner will consist of slow-cooked pork,
slaw, baked beans, bread, hot cobbler, ice cream—and umbrella drinks in keeping
with the theme (tropical juices). Our own Stoney Creek Church Elvis
impersonator will be present to share some great tunes during the party. Feel

June 4 (Friday), 9AM: Day Trippin' to Simply Natural Creamery
near Ayden!
We will start with a 10AM farm tour which includes a visit to
the milking barn, processing center, a wagon ride around the farm, an
opportunity to pet baby calves and even a chance to milk a cow. Also included
in the tour is a free sample of some delicious Simply Natural ice cream. After
our tour, we will enjoy a laid-back picnic lunch in the well-maintained Simply
Natural picnic area. We are bringing all the food and beverages for the picnic,
so all you have to do is show up and enjoy! You will also have time to purchase
more ice cream or any of the gifts or daily products in the Simply Natural
store. Save up your calories so you can eat lots of ice cream!
July 16 (Friday), 9AM: Boardwalk & Boats!
Join us as we travel to Wilmington for lunch at one of the
great boardwalk seafood restaurants along the waterfront. Feel free to eat in
the same restaurant with your chaperones or break off to any of the other
restaurants in the area. After lunch, we will step aboard the white and blue
double-decker Henrietta for a
relaxing, informative and scenic cruise on the Cape Fear River. Upon leaving
the dock, we will cruise upriver to the forks of two major rivers then head
south past Historic Wilmington, the Battleship North Carolina and Eagles.
During the cruise, the captains will give you a snapshot of Wilmington’s
history from the early explorers to Modern day ships from all over the world
and more. The Henrietta has an enclosed (air-conditioned) lower deck and an
open, covered upper deck. After our 1PM cruise, we will head back to Goldsboro.
We will take a restroom/stretch break at the Duplin County Rest Area near
Warsaw.
