I waited until we were at the park to tell the kids that we had to schedule their trip to SeaWorld on the same day as the annual preschool day. Acually, it worked out pretty well. We didn't have to wait in line as long for the rides and the kids weren't tempted to pick up a "friend" for the day. Some blessings just come along as a surprise. The kids were good sports and there were so many other visitors that we hardly noticed the numbers of little ones.
One thing I have especially enjoyed about this trip is the close proximity all the attractions are to our beach house. It is so nice to not have to fight traffic or spend oddles of money on gas. We are five miles or less to everything we are doing except for our day at Universal on Wednesday.
Tomorrow is our first beach day. We will be hanging out on Coronado Island. The kids are looking up information on renting surfboards and wetsuits. There is quite a bit of surfing along this strretch of the ocean. We'll let you know how it goes. We're looking forward to a relaxing day just hanging out, playing in the sand, braving the water for the fearless and cruising the little shops along the beach. On days like this we give each student $10 dollars per meal and let them decide where they want to eat. They really like this arrangement. They get to keep any leftover money they don't spend.
It's pretty late so I'll just add that Craig and Hannah served us cream cheese and bagels, cereal, fruit and OJ. It was a great success. This evening Dusitn and Nayome had our evening worship. They showed an animated music video that was well done, then Nayome followed up with a short talk to tie things together and shared a text from Matthew 5. Dustin finished up with prayer. Everyone settled down pretty quick this eve. I think a day in the sun wore them out a bit.
Take care everyone and keep prayin'.
P.S. Abbey, Nick and I ran 3.6 miles along the ocean tonight. Something about running in a setting like that that gets you to go a lot farther than you plan. We just wanted to beat the 1.7 miles Jacob, Kirbi and Braden ran over the weekend.
