David returned to school today and although his students won't return until Friday, summer is officially over for us! Soon our normal routine will begin but our summer trip will be remembered for years to come.
We left Georgia on the afternoon of June 13th (our 16th anniversary!) and traveled to Nashville the first night. We were able to squeeze in a quick lunch with some of our friends in Louisville the next day.
Our boys were thrilled to see some of their friends (we kept it a secret until the last minute). We met at a McDonalds playspace so all the kids could play...unfortunately, the adults couldn't hear themselves think...but the kids had a great time!
After lunch, we went to Alexandria, IN, and stayed at a B&B near Woodland Family Camp. David's sister, Lisa, was planning to be there too, and we were all looking forward to seeing her. My boys had never been to a church camp before and were uncertain as to what to expect. The Sunday morning message was opened by the evangelist singing a chorus, "I'm so Happy With Jesus." After listening to this phrase a few times, Seth who had sat quietly taking it all in, said loudly, "Well, he's happy!"
We had a great time reconnecting with a lot of friends and David enjoyed seeing many people that he knew years ago, especially the Gremillions, who pastored the church David attended in Duncan, OK.
(David and Lisa with Mrs. Gremillion)
We left camp after lunch and headed toward IL. Quickly, the skies bagan to darken and we needed to take a different route to avoid some tornado warnings. This just about scared my littlest boys to death. They were praying like evangelists in the backseat, which should have helped a little later in the trip...
more to come
