Winding down..

Yesterday we surprised the kids with a late day trip to Sea World to finish off summer. They were excited especially because Darren joined us. Kennedy faced another fear and joined
D on Atlantis. Atlantis is a big ol roller coaster that has a huge water drop as the first drop; she freaked out, but made it to the end (like she had a choice or something). We ventured over to Elmo's playland where the kids rode on some fun rides (mini grown up rides). We haven't gone in to that area this summer because there are characters walking around and Michael freaks out. I convinced him that they only come out at certain times and right then they weren't going to be there. Luckily, I was right. The kids rode up w/D in the Sky Tower ride and checked out all of San Diego - another first for them. Sea World night time is really cool. The "Shamu Rocks" night show was really pretty with all the lights and stuff. That show was the last thing we did then the fireworks came. We said "so long" to summer during the amazing fireworks and came home. So much for trying to get the kids back on early bedtime routines.

Today our friends Cleveland and Reagan are over for swimming and hanging out. Right now they are all playing Wii and laughing and talking all "cool". They grow up so fast.

The following verse has nothing to do with the above, but I like it and felt like sharing..we all need a little reminder once in a while. I know, I do.

Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32
