Disney World Trip

We had a great time in Orlando for a few days, Novemeber 13-16. We pack it full with one day each at three of Disney World's parks: Epcot, Magic Kingdom & Disney Hollywood Studios. The weather was perfect, except for one downpour and being unseasonably cold on the last day. Almost no lines to wait in on all the rides and if there was a line, a fastpass came in handy. Tower of Terror, Rock & Roll Roller & Space Mountain Coasters, Splash Mountain and Toy Story Mania were some of our favorite rides. We loved the Illumi-nations, Indiana Jones and Fantasmic shows. And we were chosen as the Year of a Million Dreams family for the Car Stunt Show! Lindsey also was chosen to carry the banner in the parade.

New Home

God has blessed us! Not only did He sell our house in Mississippi in four months, He led us to this house just 1.7 miles from the church. It is a great location and in a great neighborhood. We have several families from our church that we know of that live there. We hope to close and move in mid-December. We are soooo blessed and thankful to God!!

Staff Family Day at St. Teresa Beach

Staff Members and their families enjoyed a great day at the Chason's Beach house in St. Teresa. The sad part is that Lindsey had been sick with a virus for seven days and could not go. So it was just Samuel and Doug enjoying the day. Samuel stayed in the water throwing his cast net all day long and bringing back a lot of new specimens for his salt water tank. Doug enjoyed the boat rides and tubing. The Chasons were very gracious and treated us to shrimp & scallops and of course cheese grits!

Fun 1st Weekend in October

Great weekend that started off on Friday with us visiting Al & Laney Wise at their campsite in Destin. We enjoyed going to the Destin Seafood Festival and going to the beach acouple of times. And of course Samuel brought back a lot of "specimens!" including a "permit" and a puffer fish. Al & Laney followed us back to Tallahassee so they could see and stay at our home and go to church with us Sunday morning. That evening Lindsey had a Middle School pool party at which she was a "bobbing for apples in the pool and swim back with it" champion.

My salt water fish tank!

These are some pictures of my [Samuel] salt water aquarium. I am hoping to change it to a reef tank soon. Right now I have three blennies, five hermit crabs, four snails, and one prawn. Posted by Samuel

Labor Day Weekend at St. Teresa

We had a great weekend mini-vacation at St. Teresa with Fred, Terry & Shannon Wilder at their beach houses. They graciously let us stay at their A-frame three bedroom, two bath house a couple of hundred yards from the beach while they stayed in their big beach house right on the Gulf. We enjoyed some trout fishing, deep sea fishing, fresh grilled seafood, kayaking, riding the golf cart around, the swimming pool and Samuel collecting specimens for his new salt water tank he has recently created.
