•  Finally time to post...I uploaded the pics on Sunday, then I didn't have time for a few days, and then our internet service was worse than dial up...I think they got it fixed today! YAY!
   So, here are the promised pics from last weekend... the motel that we stayed at (and where the meetings were) had an indoor pool, which was very nice since it would have been too cool to swim outside. We got there Thursday night and of course had to make good use of it before bed!
   My fish....
  

  Back swimming...
  The next evening Tamara swam all the way across the pool and back without floaties on her arms...I am proud of her!

  

  Friday the kids and I went to the Zoo of Northwest Florida. The drive down was interesting...I have pics farther down of the big bridge we got to cross...
   The Zoo was not real big but it was nice. I'll let the pics do the talking...

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  This is a face I would not like to meet in the wild!!

  

  Isn't this coon so cute??

  

  We took a train ride through an open range area....

  

  This alpaca's name was Carmen! (took this for my niece and Tamara's friend! )

  

  This ape was hilarious....he was on an island so he couldn't get to us, but when the train got near, he came barreling towards us beating on his chest...it was so loud!!

  

  

  

  Salad for lunch...

  

  There were alot of azaleas in bloom...so beautiful!

  

  We saw quite a few white peacocks...they look majestic!

  

  

  On the way home, Tamara fell asleep, but we stopped at a rest area before we crossed back over the long bridge.

  

  There's the bridge...

  

  That evening we went to Logan's Roadhouse for supper....yum! I'd go back! We also shopped in the mall for a little then came back and went swimming again. A fun time...

  

   This week has been busy and it doesn't look to slow down anytime soon! We had meetings at church with Mervin Wengard from Sun. -Wed. We had them over for supper Tuesday night. Thought they might enjoy re-visiting their old house! Mervin was a volunteer chaplain here about 12 years ago and they were the ones who lived here first...after the house got moved here from town.
   Wed. I had Yolie and her kids here for lunch and play time. It was good to reconnect...seems our lives have been so busy!
   This afternoon the kids and I are going on a big shopping trip to Walmart! We have so much stuff we need! And some Tupperware to deliver....

   If you think about it, say a prayer for me...I have to share about how Dan & I got involved in prison ministry on Saturday at a Benefit Ladies Tea for Gospel Express. I do not enjoy talking in front of a crowd, but I know it'll be over by this time next week! LOL! Thanks!~
