Busch Garden Fun!
We bought a 2 week pass to Busch Gardens and Sea World.
The pass allowed us to go for 14 days to both parks.
We did Busch Garden for a week and Sea World for a week.
You realize after you go that you can only handle so many days before you are exhausted. It was alot of fun and well worth the pass!

This + this = one sick mama
Addy watching the boys on a ride.
Wow were tired! Playing all day is exhausting. Thanks Busch Gardens that was fun week!

Time for Our Children
Time for Our Children Delivered By: Lloyd D. Newell
When we hear the word investment, most of us think of investing our money in hopes that it will grow and yield a large return. Some of us feel lucky to have enough money to meet our daily basic needs, let alone to invest any. But in one way, we are all equally rich: We all wake up with 24 hours in each new day. How will we spend those hours? How can we get the largest return on our investment?
The story is told of a boy whose father once gave him a box with a note inside promising the boy one hour of time every day, right after dinner. And it was good for a whole year. For 365 hours, the boy could spend time with his father playing, talking together, whatever the boy chose. And every year, the father renewed that promise. Now a successful attorney, the son looks back on that as the greatest gift he has ever been given—the gift of time from his father.
The wealthiest people in the world cannot buy a gift as valuable as that. But everyone, no matter how wealthy, can make such a wise investment of time. When a parent spends time with a child, together they forge a bond of love that transcends anything that could be purchased. The toys and other things parents buy for their children eventually break down, wear out, and are forgotten. But those precious moments spent together will live forever.
When we invest time in our relationships, we are building a legacy beyond description, a treasure that will outlast all material gifts. Time is truly the best investment—in our children and in everyone we love. Nothing else even comes close.

Kitty Hawk
Kitty Hawk was alot of fun and very inspiring. It is so amazing to travel and see and hear all the amazing history of some amazing people. We also got stuck in the sand in Kitty Hawk! It was a moment to realize how sometimes and probably the majority of the time our hassles can become some of our great moments. Let me explain what I mean by that. We spent the day at Kitty Hawk and we had a ways to travel a head of us. Our R.V got stuck in the sandy parking lot. There were quite a few people who cruised by us but we had a family stop and ask to help us. They were in a R.V too that they had rented for the weekend. They were traveling with a big group of Kids and some family. When I saw them earlier in the day I thought they were a church group or something. They tried to help us out of the sand but it wasn't working. While we were waiting they got our story and invited us to dinner at there rental home. We eventually got pulled out of the sand. We were so grateful and it ended up being our boy's favorite night. They had so much fun! While we were driving away from there place the boys made the comment," see, if we wouldn't have got stuck we never would have met them." So next time your being hassled with a very irritating situation, hang tight you never know what good can come of it.
Thank you so much Ronny and Jay! We had a great time and hope to be lifetime friends.
