Well things have been very exciting over the past few weeks. Dad came back to visit with the family for two weeks (over the 4th of July) and came bearing gifts and pictures. The picture you see on the left is actually him about to go snorkeling in the Red Sea, a regular Friday ritual. He was able to bring back some amazing seashells and other interesting finds that a person would just not expect to find in the Red Sea. But I'm sure it's just got to be amazing to be in such a historical area and making your faith and Bible stories turn into a reality. It's just too cool to imagine. But while he was here John and I were also able to spend some time with my family.
My sister came down to stay with us for a week with her girls while DJ was at Space Camp and from what I can get from him it was neat. But from what mom and Michele says it sounded really interesting, even Tom Hanks showed up because his son was there.
Then my brother David and his family (Lavon, Tyler, and Jonathan), my parents, and John and I went up to Blue Ridge Mountains and stayed in these amazing cabins (see picture below). While there we saw a movie, went tubing down the Ocoee River (highly recommend) and then experienced our own Hillbilly Fourth of July....I swear the GA mountains are where the hillbillies hide. But they sure are an enjoyable group to people watch.
So after that we all headed down to our house and my brother Timothy and his family (Cindy, James, and Ellen) joined the fun. So for the past few days we have had one hectic household. But what good is a big house if you are afraid to share.
Well that's about all that's been going on with us, now we are just enjoying the fam and having some sweet summertime. But I will say my next day of fun I'm greatly looking forward to and that is spending my birthday with my husband at Six Flags. I have been looking at all the rides and it's been so long.....so I can't wait!
