Hubby was recently requested to do the oh-so-burdensome task of being a speaker on a beach retreat for a big church here in Houston. The trip was to Panama City Beach, Florida, and the whole family got to go! We had such a great time. Well....most of the time. :) The kiddos (and Mommy) survived the long, long car trip (praise God for minivans and extra room!). We enjoyed time in the pool, time at the beach, and time in the dining hall eating yummy, down-home cooking for every meal.
Hubby spoke to the high-schoolers on biblical manhood and womanhood and caused quite a stir with some. Girls just don't like that word that starts with "s" and ends with "mission." :) But most of them "got it," and we heard encouraging words of crying teens ready to end ungodly relationships because of his talk. Glory to God!
Probably the most memorable part was how Wunk 1 LOATHED the beach. He despises it--sand, saltwater, waves, everything about it. Cleanliness is entirely too important to this child! When we would go, he would cry the entire time!! And I mean SCREAM and cry, saying over and over, "I want to go back! I want to go back to the hotel!" Ya gotta love three-year-olds! :) We just pretty well ignored him and told him we were in Florida to enjoy outside time, not toy time in the room. But other than that, we had a ball. All four of us loved the trip. Even Wunk 1, really. This morning, our first morning home, he said, "I want to go back to Florida!" We are so blessed to have had time there!!! Enjoy the visuals....
