Thankfully, the weather last week was georgeous w/above average temperatures - that made our trip to Sea World soooo enjoyable!! We were able to get soaking wet and be comfortable! I thought I would include a few of the pics....especially this one of the the kids waiting to get splashed by the Journey to Atlantis ride. You can just barely see Kyla due to the wall of water that is drenching the kids! They stood there and were pelted with water over and over again - the force of the water was nearly strong enough to knock the breath out of you! Oh to be young (and dumb ha!) again!
We were able to catch two different whale shows - due to the Hall-0-scream celebration that they are currently having at the park. The later show was FAR better, but my pics didn't turn out as well. I have yet to master the digital camera because I like the results from my 35mm sooo much more. I probably should have used a night mode of some sort - who knows - but I was able to get this awesome pick of this whale coming up out of the water from the early show. In reality, the whale was even further out of the water - he/she was going back down when this pic was "snapped."
Not only was Sea World a blast (we went ahead and purchased season passes so we can go back an unlimited number of times until the END of NEXT year!), but it was wonderful to spend it with our good friends from Alabama - Isaac, Rebekah, and Kim. I can't tell you how nice it was to spend time with a 'girlfriend' who has known me for sooo many years - I have really missed that sort of fellowship! It is quite a process making friends like that ... but so worth it! I know that the Lord will have friends like that for me (all of us) here too - it just takes time....and effort!
I'll write later and include pictures of the couch downstairs....ya'll probably feel like I left you with a cliffhanger - for so long that was a HOT topic of conversation for us! ha! The synopsis is - we have had a downstairs couch...for only about 3 weeks now...and it hasn't broken (miracle of miracles). If you recall the last one we had down there only lasted about 36 hours and we had three delivered for the upstairs that were broken -- so I am a little "gun shy" about couch purchases - it took me a while to make a 'new' one.
Well - Luke has lost all patience with this post this am. He is trying to get into all sorts of trouble just so I'll get up from the computer - remember those toddler days? I'll write more later! Love to all!
