Oh my goodness, we have to leave this beautiful place tomorrow! Time to trek home! Unfortunately, it is probably going to take us a bit to pack up after living here for 5 nights; and they announced tonight that we are supposed to be out by 8:00 a.m. HMMM I don’t see that happening! Our church group leaves on the bus tomorrow morning at 5 a.m. I’m thankful we don’t have to do that! They also drive straight the 16 1/2 hours – which with short stops ends up being about 18 hours I think. I’m kind of sad our vacation is on it’s last leg… It has been such a great time!

Today we had breakfast, then went to the game room and the boys played pool with daddy. Then it was off to miniature golf. (where we once again had to leave early for lunch). We had lunch and then headed into town – our family and our friend and her granddaughter. It was fun to shop around down there again. Matt discovered these in a shoe store: http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/ (no, he didn’t buy any..) But I did get these… which have been on my Amazon wish list since Nov. 24, 2007… They are expensive, but sooo comfy & cute! The guy at the store tells me they will last 10 years… we shall see about that! We had a short rest and then headed to dinner.

After dinner we went to the evening session. Nick Vijicic was the speaker – incredible! The boys all went up and hugged him afterwards! Then there was a concert by 33 Miles. We just stayed for a bit of that. Of course while they were leaving (you could hear them outside because they were so loud of course) they started playing one of my favorite songs… Go figure.

Christian is feeling much better – pretty much back to normal and so far… no one else is sick! Still praying it stays that way! I hate having sick kids, but whenever we do have sick little ones – all I can think about is how blessed beyond measure we are to have healthy kids! It is strep throat… not a brain tumor or cancer like little Kate McRae and her family is facing right now. Please do keep them in your prayers!

Christine
