Sabbath

We had a wonderful Sabbath. Pastor Kim preached an amazing sermon on the Sabbath and that the 7th day, Saturday, is still the Bibilical day of rest. He is so good for being so young. God blessed Oakwood church when they sent us him as our new Pastor.

From there we went to the boat for lunch. Made Aunt Stellas Rueben Sandwiches and Vege Pigs-in-a-Blanket. Taco Salad, Sarah's Salsa, Smore's Brownies, and Watermelon topped off the meal. It was a little cool with wind blowing off the lake. Grandma was freezing. So when we changed clothes to go to the zoo, we put on long pants and long sleeved shirts. Got to the zoo inland in Toledo and it was 85 degrees. We were all pretty uncomfortable, hot and stuffed from lunch.

Even Dan, Joe, and Adam came along for the fun. Had 7 adults and 2 babies in carseats crammed in one car. All had seatbelts but it was uncomfortable. Kept saying "This is practice for Alaska".

We met up with some friends from church with 2 girls who kept Leah company. The zoo is really very nice. Oakwood gave Sarah a year pass when she stopped teaching so we all had free passes and parking free for ONE car.

I bet you are wondering where the pictures are? Well, after the zoo we headed back to boat to pick up 2 motorcycles and another car. Kids and Dan decided to take a boat ride. Gram and I watched Lily on shore. Well, Leah overflowed her diaper and was on Sarah's lap which got Sarah's pants all wet. She soaked them and forgot her camera was in her pocket. Bye Bye Canon.....So, she has confiscated mine. Pictures will have to wait till I can get my hands on the camera or Dan brings his home from work and I can put those on the computer.

Never a dull moment.

Is that why you all crammed into ONE car? So you didn't have to spend any money on Sabbath?

Or did you cram in one car for the one car pass?

Please explain to a carnivore what a veggie Reuben sandwhich is. Thanks. The menu sounds quite yummy.

What a full day but lots of fun with all you did with each other.

I miss so much with my kids half a world away.
