Summer vacation

Yes, we did take a family trip this summer. It wasn't very far from home, but it was super fun. We went to a local water resort. It was a hotel that had a water park right there behind it! They also had a huge arcade, places to eat and a bar (you know, if you like that sort of thing). Oh, and there was a dinosaur mini-golf place right next door! Did I mention the hotel is only 1/2 hour from our home? One of the perks of living next to tourist land!

The arcade was HUGE!

Part of the water park was indoors!

One evening we went to Sea World. We happened to visit Tilly, the whale just at feeding time. Connor put his hand on the glass and Tilly swam up and stayed right there for a minute or so. When we walked away Connor said "That was the perfect end to a perfect day!".The Woods boys ruled the park and may or may not have tortured a little girl or 2 with the water cannon's!

Pure Joy!

Now doesn't this look fun!

This is how Brandon showered the whole weekend...I'm not kidding.

Three big slides

Hudson loved this slide

Feet first please!

Connor on the big slide

My most memorable conversation of the trip happened between Connor & Brandon:

Dad, I'm having a fantastic time!

That's awesome buddy! I'm so glad you're having a great time!

No Dad, I said Fantastic!

Returnal life

Just picked Hudson up from school and here was our conversation:

Mom, I think God is running out of people
Why
Cause lots of people die
Then God makes more people
Oh yeah, we get returnal life
What is returnal life?
When we get to live a second year on earth
Um, I think you mean eternal life & that means...
No Mom, it's returnal life. Jesus died on the cross so we could have a chance to live in this state.
What state do we live in?
Florida
At least you got that right.

The class visited the Memorial Garden this week and must have discussed death. I think Hudson may have crossed his signals.

Oh, I am almost done with staff reviews for our church and once that is complete I plan to return to regular blogging!
